Heating Noises You Might Hear
Here are the heating noises that you might hear coming from your heater this winter:
1. Starting and Stopping
We know that this isn’t a classic “sound” that you’re expecting to be listed here, but starting and stopping is a sound that you might hear. What you’ll probably notice is the sound of your home’s heating system starting over and over again. If it’s happening in close succession, this might actually be annoying to you.
We don’t want you to brush this off as a minor annoyance. We want you to notice this and call a professional. This is called “short cycling” and it’s a sign that your heating system is suffering.
2. Buzzing
Buzzing or vibrating is a noise that you might hear when you have a motor or a blower that’s on the decline. This is a sign that heater repair is in your future so call now.
3. Banging
Any loud noises are bad when they’re coming from your heater. Banging is a noise that you might hear can indicate a couple of different things. If you notice a banging sound happening when your heater kicks on, then you’re heating your ignition going haywire.
If you hear banging going on while your heater is actually operating, then you might be having trouble with a loose part going haywire.
4. Squealing
Any squealing or squeaking noises is typically the sign that you have a loose blower or a worn down fan belt. We’re here to help you through this.
5. Whistling
Your furnace has started to whistle like it’s a tea kettle. You find this odd and it’s definitely something that’s made you raise an eyebrow. We want it to be enough for you to raise your phone up in the air and dial our number.
Here’s why—whistling or even hissing are the sounds of air moving where it shouldn’t in your system. You might have a leak in your ductwork, some gapping, or another problem along these lines. You can also think of this sound as money flying out of the window. If you have any circulation problems, then you’re wasting your heating on places you won’t feel it.
