3 Worry-Free Ways to Deal With a Noisy Furnace

Mark J. Biel • January 6, 2021

Now that winter is in full swing, you want to make sure your furnace is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. This means checking it periodically for indications of a possible issue. Does your furnace operate noisily, by any chance? Odd or loud noises can signal a heating problem, so it pays to deal with them promptly. R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, Inc., the premier  new air conditioning  and heating company in the area, shares some handy tips here.

Have it checked immediately.  If the furnace is generating a sort of scraping sound, it might have a loose or broken blower wheel. When the blower wheels become loose, they may hit the blower housing, creating this sound. Any damage to it may also cause the blower wheel to vibrate and result in a scratching, squealing or banging noise. A damaged motor mount, on the other hand, can drop and rattle against the housing. 

What you should do to resolve this is turn off the furnace and call a reliable HVAC and  plumbing repair  company like R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, Inc. We’ll have our trained and experienced technicians accurately determine the cause of these loud noises, and once we do, recommend an appropriate, effective solution. This way you can get the most out of your heating system’s performance and extend its service life.

Don’t overlook routine cleaning and maintenance.  Your furnace may produce banging or popping sounds when it’s running. This can happen when the heating system is dirty. When debris and dust build up inside the furnace, they can affect the combustion of gases inside it. In addition to creating these worrying noises, this may also damage the heat exchanger. That’s why you should schedule regular furnace cleaning and tune-ups with your trusted local HVAC technician.

Make sure there are no leaks in the ductwork.  Gaps and other openings in the duct system can create a loud whistling sound. This will negatively affect the way your furnace distributes heated air throughout your home. For this reason, turn to R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, Inc., promptly for the necessary solution. We’re not just an expert in  new heating system installation s: we can also handle your duct sealing and cleaning needs.
