If your heater is making a racket, it’s a sign something is wrong. Sometimes it’s an easy fix, like tightening a screw or securing a loose duct or furnace door. Other times, a noisy heating system is a symptom of an equipment problem that needs prompt attention. Whistling sounds may indicate gaps or leaks in the ductwork, and motor noises could mean a worn-out bearing. Even something as simple as a dirty filter can impact heating airflow and cause strange sounds.
If you hear banging or clunking when your furnace ignites, you could have a gas ignition issue—and fuel-related problems should always be handled by the professionals. If you’re not sure what you are hearing, give us a call. Heating problems can be dangerous!
