Some of the\nnoises that come from the electronics and appliances in your home can be easy\nto ignore. It\u2019s also easy to deny anything is wrong, since fixing the issue can\nbe a bigger nuisance than listening to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are certain noises that shouldn\u2019t be ignored if they\u2019re coming from your heating system. For instance, a rattle could <\/em>be something benign, like a loose panel. But another possibility is that it\u2019s a cracked heat exchanger making the sound, which is actually quite dangerous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at Kool\nBreeze, we understand how important protecting yourself and your family is. So\nif you\u2019re hearing suspicious noises from your furnace, please don\u2019t hesitate to\nreach out to our techs. Below are some of the noises worth calling in about! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Screeching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A loud screeching noise is probably a sign that the blower\nmotor in your furnace isn\u2019t working as it should. A malfunctioning blower motor\nmeans that the heat produced by your furnace won\u2019t be able to adequately\ncirculate warm air around your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may just mean that the blower motor is in desperate need of lubrication, but it could also suggest that the fan stopped altogether. To properly diagnose this issue, it\u2019s important to have a well-trained HVAC professional take a look. Once a diagnosis is made, they can advise you on the best next steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clanking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you hear something resembling metal on metal, then you\nprobably are <\/em>hearing metal on metal.\nIt\u2019s probably something like a broken blower wheel or worn down motor bearings.\nIf you hear this, you should turn off your furnace right away and contact a\npro, to prevent further damage. More damage to your furnace means more damage\nto your wallet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banging and Booming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Usually, a bang or boom you hear coming from your furnace is\na sign of a dirty burner, which can be a dangerous problem. We say this because\nwhat you\u2019re hearing is a delay in ignition due to dirt or buildup on the\nburners, and when the gas builds up and ignites, it has to burn through that\ngrime, essentially causing a small explosion to occur inside your heater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not advise trying to clean the burners yourself. There\nis too much room for error, and you don\u2019t need to be spending more <\/em>money in the long run. It\u2019s always\nsafer to call in a pro, particularly when dealing with gas lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rattling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like we mentioned above, there\u2019s a chance that the rattling\nyou hear is nothing more than a loose panel that needs to be screwed back in.\nBut, you should never just assume this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cracked heat exchanger often makes a clicking sound as it expands and contracts with the heat fluctuations. But, it can also make a rattling noise. A cracked heat exchanger means that carbon monoxide gas can make its way into your living space. This gas is tasteless and odorless, but not harmless! In severe cases, it even leads to fatalities. We don\u2019t say this to cause panic, but rather to stress the importance of getting the problem fixed right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rattling can also be due to a lack of airflow from a dirty\nair filter, or problems with the blower\u2014these are less severe problems of\ncourse, but letting them go on too long can certainly lead to bigger problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
