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

October 17, 2024 | Blog

As cooler temperatures make their way to Katy and the surrounding areas, your furnace becomes a key part of keeping your home comfortable. But what happens when your furnace starts making strange, eerie noises? While the sounds may seem spooky, they’re often mechanical issues that can be fixed. At Air Tech of Katy, we’re here to help you understand what’s behind those unsettling noises and how we can fix them to keep your home warm and quiet.

Common Furnace Noises and Their Causes

  1. Banging or Popping Sounds
    • Cause: These noises are typically caused by metal ducts expanding and contracting as the furnace heats up and cools down. It could also be due to delayed ignition, where gas builds up in the combustion chamber before igniting.
    • Solution: Regular maintenance can prevent delayed ignition and other issues. Schedule a seasonal tune-up with Air Tech of Katy to keep your system running smoothly and safely.
  2. Squealing or Whining
    • Cause: A high-pitched squealing sound often signals an issue with the blower motor or a loose belt that needs lubrication or replacement.
    • Solution: Our skilled technicians can quickly diagnose and resolve these problems, ensuring your furnace operates efficiently and without further issues.
  3. Rattling or Rumbling
    • Cause: Loose panels or components can cause rattling, while rumbling noises might indicate a burner problem.
    • Solution: Tightening loose parts and cleaning the burner are effective fixes. Contact Air Tech of Katy for heating repair services to address these concerns and ensure your furnace is operating at its best.
  4. Humming
    • Cause: A low hum is usually normal, but if it grows louder, it could be an indication of an electrical issue or a problem with the fan motor.
    • Solution: It’s important to have your furnace inspected to make sure it’s running safely and efficiently.
