When your furnace completely stops generating heat, it's obvious you need heating repair service. However, you can often tell problems are arising before a complete breakdown occurs by paying attention to the sounds the system makes. If you hear these noises coming from your heating and cooling system, contact a professional as soon as possible to avoid a bigger issue.

Furnace Noises That Indicate You Need Heating Repair Service

1. Whining

High-pitched whining or squealing sounds are normally the result of a loose or damaged belt. This is usually a simple, inexpensive repair job. Another possibility is that the shaft bearings require lubrication. This is likewise usually a quick fix, remedied with a bit of fan motor bearing lubricant.

2. Banging

The clogs are likely causing a delay in ignition, and the bang occurs when the gas that accumulates in the burn chamber during the delay finally ignites. This could become dangerous if the delays grow longer and longer, so schedule heating repair service to clean the burner and eliminate the problem.

3. Scraping

The sound of metal scraping against metal could indicate a problem with the blower wheel. It could be broken and scraping against its housing, or the motor mount could have come loose and allowed the assembly to tip. The issue could be easy to repair by simply tightening a few nuts, or some or all of the blower may need replacement.
