Having regular HVAC inspection and maintenance is the best way to make sure that your system is in good working order
If your home is more than 30 years old, chances are it was built with components that are designed to wear down over time, and will need to be replaced. Some of these parts can make noise when they haven’t been replaced. If you hear a banging sound coming from your furnace, you may have a mechanical problem. If you are hearing a metal banging sound coming from your furnace, it is probably a good idea to turn off your HVAC system, and contact your HVAC provider right away. If you hear a high pitched whistling sound, you may have an airflow problem. Your air filter works to remove dust, dirt, and other debris from the air in your home, and eventually, your air filter can become clogged with all of this debris. If your air filter becomes overly clogged and is unable to properly circulate air throughout your home, it may produce a high-pitched whistling sound. The solution to this is to simply replace your air conditioner filter. Most HVAC professionals recommend changing your air filter every 30 to 60 days especially if you have pets. Another cause of an airflow problem could be a leak in your ductwork. The pieces of your ductwork expand and contract over time with the change in temperature, and can result in gaps in your ductwork. Having regular HVAC inspection and maintenance is the best way to make sure that your system is in good working order. Scheduling regular HVAC appointments is the best way to make sure you don’t hear any strange noises coming from your furnace.
