A/C Banging noise on turn on and turn off
Hello everyone,
Curious issue with Central Air,,, When it turns on a loud bang / pop can be heard very close to the furnace / blower unit inside in laundry.
This does not happen with our furnace at all which shares the same air blower etc.
I am wondering what this could be and if I can further troubleshoot this somehow
sound almost like if you hit ducktwork with a rubber mallet.
Thanks

You'd have to determine if it was the supply or return duct causing the problem.
Usually it's the return duct and it also signifies undersized return ducting.

You can have someone stand there and listen when it pops.
Then you can hit the duct hard..... usually close to the edges to get it to stay in the popped in position.
