Strange Noises from Your Furnace? Uncover What’s Haunting Your Home

October 16, 2024 | Blog

As cooler weather creeps into Northwest Arkansas, your furnace becomes the hero that keeps your home warm and cozy. But what happens when it starts making strange, unsettling noises? While it may feel like something spooky is lurking in your vents, those eerie sounds often have straightforward mechanical causes. At Bud Anderson, we’re here to help you demystify these noises and fix them before they become bigger problems.

Common Furnace Noises and Their Causes

  1. Banging or Popping Sounds
    • Cause: These unsettling noises often occur when your furnace’s metal ducts expand and contract as they heat and cool. However, they can also be a sign of delayed ignition, where gas builds up in the combustion chamber before igniting.
    • Solution: Routine maintenance can help prevent delayed ignition and other issues. Schedule a seasonal tune-up with Bud Anderson to keep your system running safely and efficiently.
  2. Squealing or Whining
    • Cause: High-pitched squealing is typically caused by a problem with the blower motor or a loose belt that needs lubrication or replacement.
    • Solution: Our expert technicians can quickly diagnose and resolve these issues, ensuring your furnace is back to operating smoothly in no time.
  3. Rattling or Rumbling
    • Cause: Loose panels or components can create rattling noises, while a rumbling sound could suggest a burner issue.
    • Solution: Tightening loose parts and cleaning the burner are effective fixes. Contact Bud Anderson Home Services for professional heating repair services to address these problems.
  4. Humming
    • Cause: A low hum is generally normal, but if it gets louder, it might indicate an electrical issue or a problem with the fan motor.
    • Solution: It’s important to have a professional inspect your furnace to ensure the system is functioning safely and efficiently.

What Our Customers Say

Professional Service!

Furnace went out during this ridiculous weather and Bud Anderson was the only place I could get through to. First, they made sure I had another heat source (I did) then they arrived very quickly considering the weather. Problem was solved in a timely fashion and now my wife and kids will be very happy! Very professional service!

Great Customer Service!

I called other companies; some couldn’t get me in for 2 weeks or never called back. Due to having no power in multiple outlets throughout my home, Bud Anderson was able to schedule me first thing in the morning. I like the text updates, who your Technician will be, as well as they are on their way. Dwayne was professional, knowledgeable, and explained everything. Great Customer Service skills! Thank-you~
Karen

Quick Response!

Service call scheduled and completed in a quick manner. Aaron definitely knows heating and air systems and took the time to explain the issues and come up with a maintenance plan in the future. I strongly recommend this company.
