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.

While some heater noises may be harmless, others can be indicative of significant issues that require professional attention. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help prolong your heater's lifespan and ensure your home stays warm and safe.

Did You Know You Can Get Tax Credits for Energy Efficient Upgrades?

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 extends the tax credits offered by the federal government to homeowners who made qualifying energy efficient improvements after December 31, 2021. If you qualify, you can claim these credits on your taxes when you file in 2022.

Qualifying energy efficient upgrades are those improvements or products that help your home save energy; help you save money; and help all of us protect our environment from climate change. To apply, you’ll need to complete the IRS Form 5695: Residential Energy Credits worksheet. 

More good news: Beginning January 1, 2023, federal tax credits on energy efficient upgrades will be in place for 10 years. And, the $500 lifetime cap has been changed to $1,000 to $2,000 annually, dependent on the type of efficiency improvements you make. This means more credit claims for more projects!
