Unnerving Furnace Noises? Here’s What Might Be Lurking in Your System

October 24, 2024 | Blog

As the temperatures drop in Natchitoches and the surrounding areas, your furnace plays a crucial role in keeping your home comfortable. But what should you do if your furnace starts making strange, unsettling noises? While these sounds may seem alarming, they’re often caused by common mechanical issues that can be fixed. At AxsomAir, we’re here to help you understand what’s behind these noises and how to address them to keep your home warm and cozy throughout the season.

Common Furnace Noises and Their Causes

  1. Banging or Popping Sounds
    • Cause: These noises typically happen when the furnace’s metal ducts expand and contract as they heat and cool. It can also be a sign of delayed ignition, where gas builds up in the combustion chamber before igniting.
    • Solution: Regular maintenance can help prevent delayed ignition and other furnace issues. Schedule a seasonal tune-up with AxsomAir to ensure your system runs safely and efficiently.
  2. Squealing or Whining
    • Cause: High-pitched squealing is usually caused by issues with the blower motor or a loose belt that requires lubrication or replacement.
    • Solution: Our expert technicians can quickly diagnose and fix these problems, ensuring your furnace operates smoothly and efficiently.
  3. Rattling or Rumbling
    • Cause: Loose panels or components can cause rattling noises, while a rumbling sound could indicate a burner problem.
    • Solution: Tightening loose parts and cleaning the burner are common fixes. Contact AxsomAir for heating repair services to keep your furnace in top condition.
  4. Humming
    • Cause: A low hum is generally normal, but if it becomes louder, it might signal an electrical issue or a problem with the fan motor.
    • Solution: It’s important to have your furnace inspected by a professional to ensure it’s functioning safely and efficiently.
