Here in Fresno, heating concerns raise their head every winter, as our hot Central Valley summers fade to the rainy, chilly season. Good heaters are a key part of keeping your home warm and cozy, and when they malfunction, you need to have the problem addressed as quickly as possible. Most heaters make some kind of noise when they operate, either with a blowing fan motor, a soft hum of electricity, or the like. When strange noises occur, it\u2019s usually not a good sign. What qualifies as strange noises \u2013 noises every heater should not make? A quick overview can be found below.<\/p>\n
In the simplest possible terms, a strange noise is any noise that you don\u2019t recall hearing before, and that doesn\u2019t seem connected with the heater\u2019s normal functions. You\u2019ll usually know it when you hear it. It can be something obvious, such as a buzzing or a grinding noise which occurs when the fan is bent or something is caught in it. You might also hear a loud knocking noise when a motor overloads, or a dripping noise if there\u2019s a problem with the drain line.<\/p>\n
In other cases, the noise might be more subtle. For example, if there\u2019s a breach in the duct system, you might here a soft humming or a whistling. Or a loose bolt somewhere in the heater itself might cause a quiet rattling when the heater turns on. These usually aren\u2019t quite as dire as louder noises, but they can still cause tremendous damage to your heating system if left untreated.<\/p>\n
Either way, if you detect any noises that every heater should not make \u2013 which is to say, any noises you haven\u2019t heard before and\/or which sound problematic \u2013 then your best bet is to shut off the heater and call in a qualified service technician immediately.
