When it comes to the comfort of a home, the furnace is a major player. The only problem is that these appliances are pretty confusing to understand. The majority of homeowners complain about strange noises coming from their HVAC machines. Lack of heater service, or a need for heater repair, is a common element behind a noisy HVAC. No matter how subtle or intermittent the occurrences are of such noises, one should never ignore them.
1. Rattling
The most common problem with HVAC is that of sudden and unprovoked rattling noises. Now, these sounds must be an indication of something going haywire, right? Yes! The majority of times, rattling would indicate that there are either worn parts or broken components in the fan of the machine or the motor. With a broken part, how long do you think your machine could survive? Get in touch with our expert HVAC contractor for the repair.
2. Squealing
Squealing is not just common in happy piglets; lack of HVAC servicing can lead to weird squealing like noises emitting from an AC or heater. This is a high-pitched sound that could be an indication of worn-out belts. The need for lubrication in such parts is crucial for the bearings and belts to function smoothly. By getting regular heater maintenance, one can easily avoid such troubling sounds. At the time of heater installation, ask your service provider to brief you on the best care methods.
3. Humming
Humming or vibrating is another common occurrence that can be quite detrimental to the operation of the machine. When you hear humming, it is often a sign of loose parts. Not just that, but it can also indicate that your motor might be out of balance.
The vibrating sounds are pretty ambiguous to the untrained ear, as it might even be an indication of a strained compressor, or a bad motor. A professional heater service provider will be able to gauge the problem better and provide a solution accordingly.
4. Clicking
Are you tired of having to listen to repetitive clicking sounds without any clue as to why it's happening? Don't worry; you're not alone. As a result of electrical control issues, you might be hearing clicking sounds during start-up or shut down times. Usually, clicking sounds indicate a fault flame sensor, or issues with the thermostat. A professional will be able to detect the issue in person, and they may even instruct you in maintenance for the ignition or gas.
5. Booming
Booming sounds, wherever they come from, are always a danger sign, and the same is the case with HVAC. A gas build-up is the most common reason behind booming noises. Not taking immediate action to rectify the situation can lead to a machine damaged beyond repair. Pay close attention, and always get help quickly.
