Hi, I have a MacBook Air 2017.
i haven’t had it for very long (only from December) and the fan has got pretty loud recently, I’ve had a look at the things on Apple and no vents are being blocked and the system isn’t trying to carry out anything extensive, the fan speeds up as soon as I turn on my Mac. What should I do?
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

The SMC is responsible for managing behaviors related to the following features. If you're experiencing issues with any of these, you might need to reset the SMC.
Good luck!

Hi Androish, thanks for replying. I have tried to reset the SMC however as soon as I begin to hold the power button with the other three keys it just takes me to my sign in on Mac, and doesn't change anything. Am I doing something wrong? or is there something else I can do maybe?
Thanks, Amber :)
Make sure you hold in the buttons for your type of mac, because yeah that's not whats supposed to happen.
If you still can't get it to work
I'm not sure what type of Mac I have, how can I check I couldn't find much on google?
Unfortunately it didn't work so I guess i'll have to contact apple. Thank you so much for your help though I really appreciate it! :)
