Split systems consisting of external and internal blocks are commonly used in residential apartments. In offices and other non-residential premises, window or mobile systems are installed more often.
Where does noise come from
There are several reasons. They are associated either with a breakdown, or with errors made by mounting. To correct the situation, you should call specialists from the service center.Faulty equipment
In good condition, it should not publish high-profile annoying sounds - otherwise its use in the night hours would have fallen under the ban. Most devices do not create any interference and do not disturb the peace. The source of low frequencies, cod and vibrations causing discomfort serves an external unit that is located with the outer part of the wall. Condensate dripping from him.
- Cracker appears when the garbage falls inside, hiding behind the fan blades. It may be branches or slices of ice. One of the reasons is a cast grille in front of the fan, which knocks on the blades during rotation. Celers are usually formed due to falling icicles.
- The hum and vibration from the neighboring air conditioner occurs when the details are wear. Most often they proceed from the old compressor in need of repair or replacement. Like any other technique, air conditioning requires periodic inspection and preventive measures to troubleshoot.
- Screw connections between the working bodies weaken over time, and vibration from the pump or fan easily leads them into motion. As a result, the characteristic sound appears in the places of contact;
- The inner block located in the apartment can also create inconvenience if its bearings are worn, and the fan needs cleaning from dust, fat and other contaminants. Transformer can buzz. As practice shows, such a defect meets in low-cost Chinese-made models.
Among other reasons, the low quality assembly should be noted. Perhaps the device is working, but due to its characteristics it can not work quietly. The only solution to the problem is its complete replacement. In most cases, if noise from the air conditioner prevents neighbors, it needs to be configured or repaired. Radical measures are needed only when its main details are not subject to recovery.
Installation errors
- Disabled work - Even with the formal compliance with all the rules, an unscrupulous employee can poorly tighten fasteners on the body, nozzle or to allow a different oversight.
- Rotating parts of the device in the included state create vibration. So that it spreads onto the walls, rubber gaskets are used when installed. Sometimes masters forget to put them.
- Fastening in contact with wall fittings, fluctuations are well. The mounting holes should be placed at a certain distance from the edge of the plates where thick metal rods pass.
- The pipe for the condensate removal must be removed not to a neighbor window sill, but to the side - otherwise the droplets will not get rid of the droplets. You can close the problem zone with a rag, but this is not the best solution. At night, the "Spring drops" will be heard, although a little muted.
How to act by law
What to do if the neighbors are noise air conditioning, and they do not take any steps to solve this problem? First of all, it is necessary to find out whether it is an offense, and where to complain.All rules regulate the Law No. 52-F3 of 03/30/1999. According to this document, you can make noise on weekdays from 08.00 to 21.00, on weekends and holidays - from 10.00 to 22.00. An exception to this rule is only New Year's Eve. Day level should not exceed 40 dB, night - 30 dB. Under the ban falls a wide list of stimuli, among which there is also the sound of household appliances.
Where to complain
If negotiations have not led to anything, you can contact the police. The "crime scene" will be released outward, will make a protocol and direct it to the district. A conversation will be held with the violator. If it does not have actions, the perpetrator will have to pay a fine. When it becomes clear that it is useless to finish the intruder, you need to contact the management organization. Then the question will be solved in court. Failure to comply with the prescriptions of the court threatens eviction.
Residents can submit a collective complaint to Rospotrebnadzor. Representatives of this organization will conduct an examination with the help of special equipment measuring decibel. In case of exceeding the permissible norms, an act is a legal document and serving the basis for the start of the trial. It is not necessary to file a claim without having the results of the examination obtained in the technical inspection. To win the case, we need irrefutable evidence of exceeding the allowable volume level fixed by the instruments. However, there are cases when it was possible to win and without technical transference from Rospotrebnazor.
Is it possible to solve the problem yourself
What if the neighbors' conditioner interferes to sleep a few nights in a row? Sometimes noise is unbearable, especially among the night, when every rustle is heard in silence. The situation is aggravated if the windows come out in a quiet green courtyard, summer in full swing, and only an open-ended inthox saves the stool.Unfortunately, it will not work in any way to turn off the device. Even explicit offenses need to be eliminated by law. Otherwise, the victim itself becomes the offender. To dispose of someone else's property without the consent of the owner is strictly prohibited.
Does the consent of the neighbors on the installation of the air conditioner
The harvest of residents at home is necessary. Without it, installation is considered illegal. There are cases when its absence becomes the basis for the forced elimination of the device. The facade of the house is considered to be a common property of all residents. This is indicated in the Town Planning Code. The decision is made at the general meeting of owners.
If, in the opinion of the gathered citizens, the installation of additional equipment violates their interests, they are in the right to draw up a protocol, on the basis of which dismantling will be made. The owner of the air conditioner can appeal the decision of the meeting in court.
