As the cool weather settles across Louisiana, from Alexandria to Shreveport, homeowners are turning to their furnaces to keep the chill at bay. But what happens when your furnace starts making strange, unsettling noises? While these sounds might give you a scare, they’re often indicators of common mechanical issues that can be resolved. At Southern Air, we’re here to help you understand what those noises mean and how we can fix them to keep your home warm and comfortable all season long.
Common Furnace Noises and Their Causes
- Banging or Popping Sounds
- Cause: These loud noises often occur when your furnace’s metal ducts expand and contract with temperature changes. It could also be a sign of delayed ignition, where gas builds up in the combustion chamber before igniting.
- Solution: Routine maintenance can help prevent issues like delayed ignition. Schedule a seasonal tune-up with Southern Air to keep your furnace running efficiently and safely.
- Squealing or Whining
- Cause: A high-pitched squealing noise is usually due to issues with the blower motor or a loose belt in need of lubrication or replacement.
- Solution: Our experienced technicians can quickly diagnose and repair these problems, ensuring your furnace operates quietly and smoothly.
- Rattling or Rumbling
- Cause: Loose panels or components can cause rattling sounds, while rumbling may indicate a burner issue.
- Solution: Tightening loose parts and cleaning the burner can resolve these noises. Contact Southern Air for professional heating repair services to address these issues and ensure your system is in top condition.
- Humming
- Cause: A low hum is usually normal, but if it becomes louder, it could point to an electrical issue or a fan motor problem.
- Solution: It’s important to have your furnace inspected to make sure everything is functioning safely and efficiently.
