No homeowner wants to face an unexpected furnace repair or replacement. Because of this, when your heating system starts to make a little noise, it’s easy to tune it out and hope for the best. Think again. Not only can ignoring a noisy furnace end up costing you more money in the long run, but it can even be dangerous.
Causes of Furnace Noise
A noisy furnace can be caused by a number of things. A squeaky furnace could be a sign that a belt has reached the end of its usefulness or that the bearings in the motor need lubricating. A rumbling noise in your furnace can be the result of a clogged filter or dirty gas burners.
Having the cause of a noisy furnace assessed by a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) professional is important. Furnace noise could be the first sign that the unit needs repaired or replaced, and an indication that it could fail at any time. Noise from a clogged filter or dirty burners could be more serious. A furnace in grave need of cleaning can be a fire hazard. In addition, a cracked heat exchanger, another possible cause of furnace noise, could allow combustion gasses to enter your living space and cause a serious health hazard.
