Furnace Making Noise: What It Means

Different furnace noises point to different problems. This guide explains what common sounds may indicate and when a noise warrants a service call.

Banging or Booming

Banging at start-up can indicate delayed ignition, where gas builds up before igniting. This is a safety concern—request furnace repair.

Rattling

Rattling often points to loose panels, ductwork, or internal components.

Screeching or Squealing

A high-pitched squeal usually indicates a worn blower motor bearing or a slipping blower belt.

When to Call a Professional

Banging, screeching, or any new noise should be inspected. Request furnace repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
