Strange Noises Coming From Your Heater?

Strange noises coming from a heater can be a cause for concern, as they often signal underlying issues that may require attention. Identifying these heater noises and understanding what they mean can help you address potential problems before they escalate. 

Here are some common types of heater noises and their meanings:

• Banging or Clanking: If you hear loud banging or clanking sounds, it may indicate that there are loose or damaged parts within the heater, such as a broken blower wheel or a loose motor mount.
• Screeching or Whistling: High-pitched screeching or whistling noises often result from issues with the blower motor or the fan blades. This could be due to wear and tear, misalignment, or debris obstruction.
• Rumbling or Booming: A rumbling or booming noise can indicate the buildup of sediment in the heater's tank if you have a water heater. This buildup can cause overheating and damage the tank.
• Clicking or Ticking: Clicking or ticking sounds may be normal as your heater turns on and off. However, persistent clicking could signal a faulty thermostat or control system.
• Hissing or Sizzling: A hissing or sizzling noise may be due to a leak in your heater's gas line. This is a serious safety concern and should be addressed immediately by a professional.
