Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if someone could create an HVAC system that was completely noiseless? Trust us, if they invented this we\u2019d be first in line to install them! But the fact of the matter is, you\u2019re going to hear your furnace making noises. You\u2019ll hear the ductwork fluctuating as temperatures change, and you\u2019ll hear your furnace cycling on and shutting off, plus the whoosh of air coming through your vents.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are some noises you don\u2019t <\/em>want to hear. Truthfully, anything outside of what you normally hear day-to-day should be cause for alarm. There are 4 noises, in particular, you should never ignore, which we\u2019ve listed below.<\/p>\n Do you hear a loud screeching noise coming from your furnace? This is probably a sign that the blower motor isn\u2019t working as it should. A failing blower motor means that the heat being generated by your furnace won\u2019t even be able to circulate warm air around your home in a successful matter.<\/p>\n This may just mean that your blower motor needs lubrication, which is something our technicians can and do handle. It could also suggest that your fan has stopped altogether. To properly diagnose the situation, it\u2019s important that a trained and experienced HVAC technician visits your home. Once diagnosed, they can advise you on the next steps.<\/p>\n Do you hear a clanking sound\u2014something that resembles metal-on-metal? Then you likely are <\/em>hearing metal-on-metal, in the form of a problem with the furnace\u2019s blower wheel. If this is the case, you must turn your furnace off and contact a pro right away to prevent further damage to the wheel. More damage to the wheel means more damage to your wallet.<\/p>\n Also described as \u201cbanging,\u201d booming is almost always indicative of a dirty burner. This might seem like a pretty benign problem, but it can actually be quite dangerous. The noise you\u2019re hearing here is caused by a delay in ignition due to dirt and grime buildup. The gas builds up as a result, and when it ignites a small explosion occurs inside the heating system.<\/p>\n The actual \u201cexplosion\u201d we\u2019re referring to isn\u2019t even the worse part. The problem here is that the more this occurs, the more likely it is that your heat exchanger will accumulate damage. A cracked or damaged heat exchanger leaks gas into your living space\u2014specifically, carbon monoxide gas. This can make members of your household ill in most cases, and in very severe cases can even be fatal.<\/p>\n If you hear a booming or banging at system startup, please turn off your furnace right away and give our pros a call.<\/p>\n This is another one of those noises that seem really minor. But if you hear rattling coming from your furnace, you shouldn\u2019t just make this assumption. True, it could be something simple like a loose panel or screw that needs tightening. But a very real possibility is that a cracked or broken heat exchanger is causing this problem, too.<\/p>\n For expert HVAC service in Dacula, GA<\/a>, contact Wall Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.<\/a> today! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Truthfully, anything outside of what you normally hear day-to-day should be cause for alarm.<\/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":[156,122],"class_list":["post-1668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating","tag-dacula","tag-hvac-service"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668","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=1668"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1672,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668\/revisions\/1672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wallheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Screeching<\/h2>\n
