With temperatures cooling down, it’s just about time to shut off our AC’s for the season and turn our attention to our heating systems. With the full-time use they’re about to start getting, now is the best time to address any repair needs your heating system might have. The best way to determine if you need repairs is to schedule a maintenance tune-up.<\/p>\n
During maintenance, our technicians thoroughly inspect your system inside and out. We look for any components that need adjusting, or possibly even repair. If repairs are needed, we’ll alert you to them right away so you can get them on your schedule.<\/p>\n
What if you already had furnace maintenance though, or what if you haven’t scheduled it quite yet, and you notice your furnace making a funny noise? The short answer to this is “call a professional!” which we do encourage you to do. In the meantime, we’ve uncovered below just a few of the spookiest sounds you might hear coming from your furnace, and what those sounds mean. For additional advice on handling unexpected heating system issues, check out our guide on<\/span> before heating repair<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have you detected a screeching noise in your home, to discover it’s coming from your furnace? The most likely cause of this is that the blower motor isn’t working as it should. A failing motor means that the heat being generated by the furnace won’t have the ability to circulate warm air around your living space successfully.<\/p>\n This\u00a0might\u00a0<\/em>just mean that the motor needs to be lubricated, which is something our professionals can easily handle for you. But it also means that your fan can stop or has stopped. The only way to properly diagnose the problem is by contacting a trained and experienced HVAC technician to visit your home and inspect the system.<\/p>\n Do you hear a noise that seems to resemble metal scraping on metal? Then that likely\u00a0is\u00a0<\/em>what you’re hearing! And the cause of this problem may be a broken or breaking down blower wheel.<\/p>\n If this is in fact the case, you need to turn your furnace off to prevent further damage, and contact our pros right away.<\/p>\n Ignoring such issues can lead to cascading problems; for more information, review our tips on<\/span> why you shouldn\u2019t ignore furnace sounds<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>Allowing the problem to continue without addressing it can create a domino effect and impact other parts of your system, which means damage to your system and to your wallet.<\/p>\n Also sometimes described as a “banging” sound, a furnace booming is almost always the sign of a dirty burner. This noise occurs due to a delay in ignition caused by dirt and grime on the burner assembly, resulting in a gas build-up. The more this occurs, the more damage your furnace may incur. Learn more about how this issue connects to other potential hazards, such as<\/span> problems affecting your boiler\u2019s performance<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n We aren’t saying that your furnace is going to blow up on you! But what we\u00a0are\u00a0<\/em>getting at, is that the more this occurs, the more damage your furnace system will incur. One of the most problematic things that can happen here is you’ll end up with a cracked or damaged heat exchanger, which can allow harmful carbon monoxide gas into your home.<\/p>\n For reliable heating repair in Allison Park, PA<\/a>, plus exceptional customer service, call the friendly staff at Boehmer Heating & Cooling<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not only should you know about these strange heater sounds, you should know what to do about them! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[319,149],"class_list":["post-2625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating","tag-allison-park","tag-heating-repair"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2625"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3325,"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2625\/revisions\/3325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boehmerheating.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}1.
