Creepy Noises Coming from Your Furnace? Here’s What Might Be Lurking

October 9, 2024 | Blog

As the crisp October air settles over Hazlehurst, Mississippi, many homeowners find themselves reaching for the thermostat to ward off the chill. But what happens when your furnace starts making unsettling noises? While the spooky season might have you thinking of ghosts and goblins, the real culprits behind those creepy sounds are often much more mundane—and fixable. At Channell, we understand the importance of a well-functioning heating system, especially as the temperatures drop. Let’s explore some common causes of furnace noises and why Channell Heating & Cooling is your go-to provider for heating solutions in Hazlehurst and beyond.

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 up and cool down. It can also be a sign of delayed ignition, where gas builds up in the combustion chamber before igniting.
    Solution: Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues. Consider scheduling a seasonal tune-up to keep your system running smoothly.
  2. Squealing or Whining
    Cause: A high-pitched squeal can indicate a problem with the blower motor or a loose belt.
    Solution: These components may need lubrication or replacement. Our team at Channell can quickly diagnose and resolve these issues to prevent further damage.
  3. Rattling or Rumbling
    Cause: Loose panels or components can cause rattling, while a rumbling noise might suggest a problem with the burner.
    Solution: Tightening loose parts and cleaning the burner can often resolve these sounds. Our heating repair services are designed to address these issues efficiently.
  4. Humming
    Cause: A low hum is usually normal, but if it becomes louder, it could indicate an electrical issue or a problem with the fan.
    Solution: It’s essential to have a professional inspect your furnace to ensure safety and functionality.

Very Thankful for Their Service

They installed our old system and took care if all maintenance since 1995. This year it finally needed replacing. They installed a quality Trane system and it’s been running efficiently ever since. Very thankful for their service.
