Adding Insulation to Decrease Air Conditioner Noise | Naperville ...

Ever notice how the air conditioner seems to make more noise on hotter days? This is an annoying problem for many homeowners across the Chicagoland area, and for many of them, replacing the unit with a quieter model is just not an option at this point in time. Luckily there are other ways to reduce the noise of the air conditioner that a much more affordable than replacing the unit, and Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning can help you apply these improvements to your home this spring!

When the weather is milder it is easier for the air conditioner to keep up with the demands of the home. When the temperature spikes, the air conditioner has to work harder and longer to keep the home at the desired temperature. This added stress increases the noise made by the air conditioner, and reducing the cooling load is an easy way to not only reduce noise but also save some money.

Insulation is the Key

Insulation is the key and it also happens to be one of the most affordable improvements you could make to your home this spring.

• Attic Insulation: Add insulation to the attic if you have not already done so. Adding insulation to the attic will keep more cool air inside the home and prevent it from escaping. When the home retains more cold air, the air conditioner runs for shorter periods of time and the cooling load is reduced.
• Duct Insulation: Another cause of increase cooling load is loss of cold air on its way to the various rooms within the home. The more cool air that is lost, the more the air conditioner has to pump out in order to meet the temperature demands of the home. Have Four Seasons insulate your duct work and enjoy as much of the cold air as possible this summer!
