While your furnace can make plenty of noises, the team at Cranney Home Services would identify these 4 as the most common:- Chirping: Though not immediately concerning, chirping noises often occur when the unit has simply not been used for a long time. It usually just means the furnace the unit is warming back up from a long period of sleep. The noise goes away when the furnace has been on for a few minutes. In the case where these noises are persistent, your belt likely needs replacement or needs some sort of maintenance. Please call Cranney Home Services for help immediately to further inspect the problem.
- Booming: Booming noises indicate a delayed ignition problem. This may actually damage the furnace if you do not seek furnace service soon enough. This problem occurs when your thermostat requests heat from the furnace and a gas valve opens, sending gas to the burners of the furnace. If the gas is not ignited immediately, the gas will build up in the furnace and create a huge fire hazard, as the gas will build up until it finally ignites and causes an explosion.
- Rattling: If you hear a loud rattling noise coming from your furnace, it could actually mean that part of it is coming loose. The rattling that you hear is the noise that is caused by that component banging against other components. However, it is also possible that a rattling noise can mean the presence of a gas leak in the system, which can be highly concerning if that gas is carbon monoxide. Call for help immediately before you put your family at risk of exposure.
- Clicking: A clicking noise may indicate a problem with the thermocouple, which is a flame sensor that opens a gas valve to the furnace burners when it detects a pilot flame. It may also mean a problem with the pilot flame itself, with it being unable to strike the thermocouple correctly. If the flame sensor does not sense that the flame is lit, the spark ignitor will simply spark over and over until it gives up. It could also be that the gas valve is not energized, especially if it remains shut.
