If you struggled with your home\u2019s heater, then it\u2019s time to consider <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/service-areas\/lockport-il-hvac-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heating repair in Lockport, IL<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the problem you noted this season is difficult with odd noises coming from your heater, then we suggest getting in touch with our professionals.

We understand that this is something that\u2019s easy to push\u00a0aside if your system still works. We want to discourage you from doing this, though. It\u2019s only going to increase the likelihood of\u00a0the system experiencing a breakdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banging<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banging is a sound that should stop you in your tracks. If it\u2019s a soft noise that happens regularly, it\u2019s just the sound of your ducts expanding and contracting. If it\u2019s loud and concerning, then it\u2019s a sign you might have an air duct issue for a problem with your burners. This is something our professionals can help with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screeching<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your heater makes a loud screeching sound every time it runs, then it\u2019s time to get professional repairs. What you\u2019re likely hearing is the sound of your heater\u2019s fan belt wearing down. It\u2019s a sound you should address sooner than later to avoid severe heating repair issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whistling\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your heater whistles while it works, then it\u2019s definitely time for you to get professional help. We\u2019d suggest starting by swapping our your heater\u2019s filter. Sometimes the noise you\u2019re hearing could come from your heater trying to work through a clogged filter. If this doesn\u2019t solve the problem, then it\u2019s time to reach out to a professional. We\u2019ll solve the problem once and for all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hissing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hissing is a sound that\u2019s sure to stand out to you. When you notice a hissing sound, it\u2019s something we want you to address as soon as possible. Hissing coming from your system can indicate a gas leak. This is something we encourage you to handle as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clicking<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clicking is one of those sounds that you might hear and overlook. This is because clicking is a sound that\u2019s common to hear even when you have a working heater. You can expect to hear clicking with your heater turns on and you might even notice it when your heater powers down. It becomes a problem when your heater clicks all the time. This can indicate an electrical issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Contact Johansen &amp; Anderson Inc today to <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jnaonline.com\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>schedule an appointment<\/b><\/a><b> with our professionals.
