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

October 23, 2024 | Blog

As the cold weather arrives in Edmond and the surrounding areas, your furnace becomes essential for keeping your home comfortable. But what should you do when your furnace starts making strange, unsettling noises? While these sounds may seem alarming, they’re often caused by common mechanical issues that can be fixed. At Hi-Tech Leak Detect, we’re here to help you understand what’s behind these noises and how to address them to keep your home cozy and warm throughout the season.

Common Furnace Noises and Their Causes

  1. Banging or Popping Sounds
    • Cause: These noises often occur when the furnace’s metal ducts expand and contract as they heat and cool. It could also be a sign of delayed ignition, where gas builds up in the combustion chamber before igniting.
    • Solution: Regular maintenance can help prevent delayed ignition and other furnace issues. Schedule a seasonal tune-up with Hi-Tech Leak Detect to ensure your system runs safely and efficiently.
  2. Squealing or Whining
    • Cause: High-pitched squealing is usually caused by issues with the blower motor or a loose belt that requires lubrication or replacement.
    • Solution: Our skilled technicians can quickly diagnose and repair these problems, ensuring your furnace operates smoothly and efficiently.
  3. Rattling or Rumbling
    • Cause: Loose panels or components can cause rattling noises, while a rumbling sound could indicate a burner problem.
    • Solution: Tightening loose parts and cleaning the burner are common fixes. Contact Hi-Tech for heating repair services to keep your system in top condition.
  4. Humming
    • Cause: A low hum is generally normal, but if it becomes louder, it might signal an electrical issue or a problem with the fan motor.
    • Solution: It’s important to have your furnace inspected by a professional to ensure it’s functioning safely and efficiently.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I Highly Recommend This Company!

I know about this company because my neighbors needed plumbing repair but of course the problem was located in my backyard. Blaine and Joe were fabulous! They did their very best to put my yard back as it was and to make sure my fence was secured so my dogs wouldn’t escape. And they were really kind and understanding of the situation. I highly recommend this company!

Professional and Friendly

I have had Hi-Tech repair two hot water slab leaks in my home this year. Both times they were prompt in scheduling the initial inspection and the actual repair, clear on the costs of the project, and what all work would be done. And on top of that, everyone has been very professional and friendly. I would 100% recommend them for any plumbing project you may have!
