Squealing<\/h3>\n<p>High pitched squeals are a sound that should be reserved for animals. If you hear it coming from your home\u2019s heater, then you\u2019re hearing the sound of your home\u2019s furnace issues. What your heater is probably experiencing is a worn belt or even damaged bearings.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s a worn belt, it\u2019s a pretty easy fix with the help of a professional. Worn belts can easily be replaced with the aid of a professional. If you have damaged bearings, they either need to be replaced or lubricated. We\u2019ll help you in this process.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Grinding<\/h3>\n<p>Any mechanical grinding sound that you hear is bad news. In fact, we think it\u2019s a great measure to turn off your heater if you notice this sound. Grinding is such a bad sign because it means that either the blower fan or a broken bolt is in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>A loose fan can start to grind against other parts of your home\u2019s heater. Broken bolts create a grinding sound because their hardware moves out of place.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Rattling<\/h3>\n<p>Rattling is typically the sound of a part that\u2019s gone off the rails. You have a loose part in your system moving around. This isn\u2019t just a sound that\u2019s annoying. In reality, this loose part can impact other parts of your home&#8217;s heating system. Rattling isn\u2019t something you should ignore.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Banging<\/h3>\n<p>Now, you might think that banging is the sound of a loose part. We hear this pretty often from homeowners. In actuality though, the banging that you\u2019re hearing is ignition failure or maybe even pilot light issues. These are two significant problems that need professional care. You don\u2019t want to let\u00a0either\u00a0get worse with time.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Silence<\/h3>\n<p>Now, this is a \u201csound\u201d that\u2019s unlike all the others that we\u2019ve listed. Technically speaking, the \u201csound\u201d that you\u2019re hearing is the absence of sound. Silence means that your heater probably isn\u2019t functioning. If you need help getting your home\u2019s heater to start up, we\u2019re going to help you repair your heater so that your home starts working well again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contact Johansen &amp; Anderson Inc for your home\u2019s furnace services.<\/a> Call J&amp;A today, sleep-tight tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch out for these troubling heating sounds.
