\"jets-of-a-natural-gas-furnace\"Winters in Florida aren\u2019t like other parts of the country. Let\u2019s face it, we\u2019ve had New Year\u2019s Days that have clocked in at 90\u00b0 before. It\u2019s almost laughable to even think about winter this early in the year. Still though, when temperatures do <\/em>cool down, however briefly, you want a fully functioning heater doing its job well.<\/p>\n

If you try to get by with a malfunctioning heater, you could find yourself with a plethora of repair needs, higher than necessary heating costs, and even a completely broken down furnace. For this reason, we can\u2019t stress enough how important heating maintenance is, as this service allows our technicians to thoroughly inspect, clean, and adjust your system for optimal performance.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not too late to schedule maintenance! Even with this service though, it pays to know what to look for in a malfunctioning heater\u2014or in some cases, what to listen <\/em>for. We\u2019ve listed below 5 noises you never want your furnace to make (and if it does, please call our pros right away).<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Whistling<\/h2>\n

Your furnace system should never sound like a tea kettle. It\u2019s a strange noise indeed, to be coming from any appliance, but it\u2019s especially unsettling in a furnace. The good news is, it\u2019s usually <\/em>the sign of a relatively minor problem\u2014a clogged air filter. The air filter is what keeps dirt, dust, and other debris from accumulating on the inside components of your furnace. Fortunately, changing your air filter is something you as a homeowner can\u2014and should\u2014do on your own.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rattling<\/h2>\n

This is one of the more common sounds that owners of a malfunctioning furnace report. This sound is more than likely a loose component that\u2019s moving around during the operation of your furnace. If you hear it while your furnace is running, you want to make sure you have a pro come out to inspect. The thing is, with loose components, this can negatively impact other <\/em>components of the furnace and caused increased wear and tear.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Banging<\/h2>\n

A loud thudding, booming, or banging noise is a definite indicator of a malfunction. Unfortunately, too many homeowners ignore these noises if they\u2019re not frequent. But this can turn into a really big problem. It usually signals a burner hard starting as it burns through the dust and dirt that\u2019s accumulated on it over the years. This is something that can be prevented with regular maintenance. Letting it go on too long can result in damage to your heat exchangers, which becomes a health and safety hazard for your household.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rumbling<\/h2>\n

You may read this and wonder what the difference is between rattling and rumbling. When we say rumbling, we mean a low, grumbling sound versus the tinny, hollow sound of rattling. Rumbling is typically the sign of a problem with a buildup of grime on the heating components in your system.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Screeching or Squealing<\/h2>\n

When you hear a sound like this, it\u2019s probably a sign that the system\u2019s blower or furnace fan is struggling for some reason. Out of all the noises we\u2019ve listed here, this one if probably the most alarming\u2014but all of the above mentioned sounds warrant a call to the pros!<\/p>\n
