Odd Heating Sounds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are the most common heating sounds that you might hear\nwhen your heater is under duress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     \nBanging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have you noticed that you hear a loud banging noise coming\nfrom your home\u2019s heater? This is the last thing you want to hear. What this\nsound typically indicates is a problem with a loose part or an aspect of your\ncombustion system gone wrong. Different parts of your heater are loose and hitting\neach other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.     \nScraping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scraping is what you hear when you\u2019ve got a loose part that\u2019s become dislodged. It\u2019s going to become an extreme issue the longer you let it go on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.     \nRattling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rattling is also the sign of a loose part. If you\u2019re noticing this when you\u2019re walking past your heater, then it\u2019s worthwhile to call a professional so it doesn\u2019t get more severe with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.     \nSqueaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you hear squeaking, it\u2019s typically a sign that some moving part of your furnace has a worn-down part. Although this is an outright issue, it\u2019s something that\u2019s going to become worse over time and become a bigger issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.     \nGrinding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grinding is typically is a mechanical issue. If you\u2019re hearing this, it\u2019s an early warning sign of a greater problem. It\u2019s so<\/em> early of a warning sign that the problem isn\u2019t right on the horizon though. This doesn’t mean you should delay repairs. Call us sooner than later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Troubling Heater Signs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consider these a bonus. These might not be alarming sounds<\/em>,\nbut they\u2019re still concerning signs going on in your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short Cycling <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your heater runs in short, punctuated cycles. It doesn\u2019t necessarily make sense. You\u2019re still able to keep your home warm enough, but it is starting to impact your heating. Don\u2019t let your comfort deteriorate unnecessarily. Call for care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Energy Bills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your energy bills should be reasonable no matter what. If\nthey\u2019ve spiked unreasonably although the heating season has just started, then\nyou need help from a heating professional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor Air Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you notice dust, debris, or anything else plaguing your indoor air, then it\u2019s a clear sign that you have an IAQ issue. A lot of the time, an indoor air quality issue can actually stem from your heater. If you\u2019ve noticed that the problem has increased as it\u2019s gotten colder even though you\u2019re running your heater more often, then you should call us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
