ARE FURNACES SUPPOSED TO BE LOUD?

A loud furnace may bother or distract you from time to time, but is there really anything wrong with it? You may also wonder if there's something you could do to reduce the noise level.

‍

Normal Sounds
Every furnace produces some noises; they often include pings, chirps and clicks. However, clicking shouldn't persist for over 60 seconds. Too many clicks could mean there's a problem with the electrical components. Some rattling and humming are also normal. On the other hand, excessive humming may reveal that a capacitor needs replacement. The blower's motor might have to be repaired soon if you hear a continuous rattle.

‍

Negative Noises
When a heating system rumbles, the burner could require service. A boom suggests that the furnace is drawing too much gas prior to ignition. If you don't fix it, a fire could occur. Scraping, banging, screeching, thumping or squealing likely indicates a problem with moving parts. Potential solutions range from lubrication to component replacement. These sounds can come from broken, unbalanced or loose parts.

‍

Noise Reduction
If your furnace is always too loud, try opening all the heat registers and cleaning the air filter. The ductwork could also be to blame; undersized ducts can produce banging or whistling.
‍

Consider buying a new system if your furnace is old. To minimize noise, it should have a burner with multiple stages and a blower that runs at variable speeds. Electric equipment and heat pumps are generally quieter than gas or oil units. Another option is to select a fuel-burning furnace with a high AFUE rating. These models cut energy bills while decreasing noise and emissions.

FOUR TOP ENERGY-SMART, MONEY-SAVING FURNACE AND HEATING TIPS

The U.S. Department of Energy spotlights the impact that heating has on typical energy bills, accounting for nearly half of your home's energy usage at 42 percent. So, it makes good sense to concentrate on applying smart furnace and heating tips to deliver a noticeable impression on household consumption and your wallet. This winter tackle high heating bills with these four approaches.

‍

1. Have Your Furnace Serviced
Furnace tune-ups prepare your equipment for extended use during chilly winter months. A trained HVAC technician performs checks and calibrations on the various components of your furnace and heating system. A thorough exam ranges from gas burner and inlet pressure checks to thermostat and vent system inspections and an overall operation review. Problems, potential breakdowns, and energy-draining issues can be identified and addressed before they compromise the efficiency of your system and drain your wallet.

‍

2. Minimize Drafts
You lose up to a quarter of the heated air in your home through drafty windows and doors. Keep that warm air from escaping by sealing those cracks and drafts with weather-stripping, caulk, or foam. Even hanging blinds or thicker curtains during the winter can help minimize heat loss. If it's in your budget, consider upgrading your windowpanes for better insulation.

‍

3. Be Smart About Your Windows
Keeping warm air from escaping isn't the only way to ensure your windows aren't wasting energy and costing you money. Ensure you're paying attention during warmer times of the day and take advantage of nature's heating unit – the sun. Open blinds and window coverings on the windows in your home that face south during warm hours. Then close them before it becomes cooler to help trap that natural heat indoors.

‍

4. Install a Programmable Thermostat
Programmable thermostats give you more control over your heating system. They offer energy savings and support more comfort while applying smart home heating practices. Set it for 68°F during the periods when you're indoors, awake and active. Program it for between 58°F and 61°F while you're sleeping and when you're not home. These simple adjustments can lower your heating bills and reduce energy waste. With the programmable option, you enjoy convenience and more heating consistency.
