Here\u2019s what would happen in a perfect world. You\u2019d turn on your furnace, and a few minutes later you\u2019d hear the familiar whirring of the fan within the system. The reason it takes a few minutes is because the heat exchangers actually have to heat up from the burners, and the fan won\u2019t start going until that happens. Once you hear that whirring, though, you\u2019re satisfied knowing that comfortable warmth is about to come flowing into your home through the vents.<\/p>\n
Other than this familiar noise, you shouldn\u2019t expect to hear much else from your furnace or heating system. But what if you do? What if you hear strange or very loud noises coming from the system itself, its ductwork, or the vents in your home? Well, then it\u2019s about time to call in our pros for furnace repair in Lawrenceville<\/a>. In the meantime, we\u2019ve offered some insight below into what may be going on when you hear the particular noises we\u2019re about to name.<\/p>\n If your furnace is gas-powered, this is an especially dangerous problem. Hearing a loud bang at startup from a furnace is never good. Although it bears mentioning that \u201cbanging\u201d you hear consistently during the time your furnace is running is not the same thing. It\u2019s typically indicative of your air ducts fluctuating\u2014expanding and contracting\u2014due to the change of temperatures within.<\/p>\n But if you hear a loud, distinguishable bang during system startup, you\u2019d be right to be concerned. The reason this happens can be due to something as simply as a dirty burner. What happens with this, though, is that the dirt builds up and covers the burners so that gas buildups until it \u201cpops\u201d through the dirt in a little mini-explosion of sorts. This doesn\u2019t create damage right away in most cases, but what it does is create strain on the heat exchangers, which will eventually crack and enable dangerous gases to escape into your living space.<\/p>\n Any squealing you hear coming from a furnace may be the result of a lack of lubrication, or perhaps a blower fan belt that has worn down. This is an easy fix in the grand scheme of things, but that doesn\u2019t mean you should wait on the repair. If you let it go on for too long, the fan may stop working altogether, which in turn will keep your furnace from running when you need it most.<\/p>\n It\u2019s always best to repair a heating problem sooner rather than later, if you want to avoid a total system breakdown.<\/p>\n Have you ever been right next to your unit and noticed a low rumbling noise coming from it? If so, it may be that your pilot light flame is too low. Be sure to check this by seeing if it is blue instead of yellow or orange. If the pilot light is not the blame, then a rumbling sound can mean you have a harmful carbon monoxide leak. If you suspect this, cease use of your furnace right away and either call for emergency services or exit your home and call your utility company.<\/p>\n What if you hear strange or very loud noises coming from the system itself, its ductwork, or the vents in your home?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[134],"class_list":["post-1441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating","tag-furnace-repair"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1441"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1441\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1446,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1441\/revisions\/1446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Loud Banging During Startup<\/strong><\/h2>\n
