When the cooler temperatures settle in across Gulf Shores and the surrounding areas, you may begin to rely more on your furnace to keep your home warm and cozy. But what happens when your furnace starts making strange, unsettling noises? While these sounds might give you the chills, the good news is that they’re often caused by common mechanical issues that can be fixed. At Roberts Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical, we’re here to help you uncover what’s causing these noises and how we can resolve them to keep your home warm and peaceful.
Common Furnace Noises and Their Causes
- Banging or Popping Sounds
- Cause: These loud noises often occur when the furnace’s metal ducts expand and contract as they heat and cool. It could also signal delayed ignition, where gas builds up in the combustion chamber before igniting.
- Solution: Routine maintenance can help prevent delayed ignition and other issues. Schedule a seasonal tune-up with Roberts Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical to ensure your system runs safely and efficiently.
- Squealing or Whining
- Cause: A high-pitched squealing sound is usually caused by a problem with the blower motor or a loose belt that needs lubrication or replacement.
- Solution: Our experienced technicians can quickly diagnose and repair these issues, restoring your furnace to its quiet operation.
- Rattling or Rumbling
- Cause: Loose panels or components can cause rattling, while a rumbling sound may indicate a burner issue.
- Solution: Tightening loose parts and cleaning the burner are effective solutions. Contact Roberts for professional heating repair services to address these issues and ensure your furnace is running efficiently.
- Humming
- Cause: A low hum is generally normal, but if it grows louder, it could indicate an electrical issue or a problem with the fan motor.
- Solution: It’s important to have a professional inspect your furnace to ensure all components are working safely and efficiently.
