As the cold weather approaches in Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas, homeowners begin to rely on their furnaces to keep their homes warm and cozy. But what should you do when your furnace starts making strange, unsettling noises? While these sounds can be alarming, they often signal mechanical issues that are easy to fix with the right care. At Air Comfort Solutions, we’re here to help you understand what those noises mean and how we can resolve them to keep your home comfortable all winter long.
Common Furnace Noises and Their Causes
-
Banging or Popping Sounds
- Cause: These noises often occur when the metal ducts in your furnace expand and contract as they heat and cool. However, they can also be a sign of delayed ignition, where gas builds up in the combustion chamber before igniting.
- Solution: Routine maintenance can prevent delayed ignition and other issues. Schedule a seasonal tune-up with Air Comfort Solutions to ensure your system is running safely and efficiently.
-
Squealing or Whining
- Cause: High-pitched squealing noises usually indicate a problem with the blower motor or a loose belt that needs lubrication or replacement.
- Solution: Our expert technicians can quickly diagnose and fix these issues, preventing further damage to your furnace.
-
Rattling or Rumbling
- Cause: Rattling sounds are often caused by loose panels or components, while rumbling noises can suggest a burner issue.
- Solution: Tightening loose parts and cleaning the burner are common solutions. Contact Air Comfort Solutions for professional heating repair services to ensure your furnace is operating properly.
-
Humming
- Cause: A low humming sound is usually normal, but if it becomes 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 functioning correctly and safely.
