Is sound an issue for heating and air conditioning?

Yes. Loud heating and cooling equipment increase sound pollution.While no financial savings are tied to less sound in your home, the sound rating of a cooling system can have a significant effect on comfort and enjoyment of your Edmonton home. The sound level of an air conditioner or heat pump depends on a number of things, such as how old and who manufactured the , and whether the compressor is insulated or not can contribute to the amount of noise it makes.

Although many heating and cooling systems built today are quieter than they ever have been, it's a good  thought to compare sound ratings when evaluating a new air conditioner or heat pump, particularly if the equipment location is near bedrooms or living rooms.
