Furnace Making Noise in Parker, CO

Call (303) 647-3227

Common causes

Banging or booming

A loud bang when the furnace starts is often delayed ignition. Gas builds up before it lights. This should be looked at soon.

Squealing or screeching

A high squeal often comes from the blower motor bearings or a belt on older units. Furnace blower motor repair or replacement is a common fix.

Rattling

Rattles can be a loose panel, loose ductwork, or a worn inducer motor. The inducer is the small fan that pushes exhaust out before the burners light.

Humming or buzzing

A steady hum with no air movement can point to a failing motor or capacitor.

What to check first

✓

Make sure the furnace front panel is fully closed and tight.

✓

Replace a dirty filter, which can make the blower strain.

✓

Note when the noise happens: at startup, while running, or at shutdown. This helps the contractor.

When to call

Call if you hear banging at startup, screeching, or grinding. These usually get worse, and a blower motor that fails leaves the house without heat. In Parker, Colorado winters, it is better to have it checked before it stops.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my furnace making a loud noise when it starts?
