The indoor unit
makes noises
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in COOL mode. The
noise is also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to
expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
Both the indoor
unit and outdoor
unit make noises
A low hissing sound may occur during operation. This is normal and is caused
by refrigerant gas flowing through both the indoor and outdoor units.
A low hissing sound may be heard when the system starts, has just stopped
running or is defrosting. This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant
gas stopping or changing direction.
The outdoor unit
makes noises
The unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
