Common HVAC Noises You Should Be Aware Of

Are you suffering from unnecessary noise in your home? Are you having a hard time watching and hearing the TV because your vents are too loud? There are some noises that are normal, but there are also instances wherein HVAC systems make strange noises and can eventually become loud and disruptive annoyances in your home.


This does not have to be the case.


 Here are some of the common noises in an HVAC system and what can be done about them: RATTLING A ratting noise that comes from an HVAC system can mean a few things.


If it is coming from the outdoor unit, then there might be some kind of debris in the system like a twig.


Make sure to turn your system off, then remove the debris.


If there is visible damage to your outdoor unit, it is best to call for professional HVAC help.


 If the rattling is coming from the inside, do the same thing - turn your system off and call for a professional.


 HISSINGS A hissing noise can indicate that air is escaping from the system.


If the hissing noise is coming from the walls, then there is a good chance that your ducts are leaking.


Aside from making noise, this also wastes your money because the air that is meant to circulate your home is leaking into the walls instead.


If the hissing noise is getting louder, then call an HVAC technician.


 If you hear a slight hissing sound, on the other hand, the sound might be coming from your air vents.


It can be because your filter is not set right, or you probably have the wrong size filter, thus, creating a gap in the seal.


In such cases, you can have the right size of the filter and place it correctly to leave no room for gaps.


 CLANKING HVAC systems that are running normally will make a humming noise.


Clanking noises, however, can indicate that something is wrong.


There can be some loose parts such as the blades, pipes, or the blower motor fan that are rubbing against each other.


Clunking noises can be a more serious problem because the loose parts can cause costly damage to your system if not addressed accordingly.


Make sure to call a reliable HVAC technician immediately.


 BOTTOMLINE Keep in mind that your HVAC system needs regular maintenance tune-ups.


You should also change its air filters regularly, and if there are general repairs, then you must attend to them immediately.


Knowing what the normal sounds are from what is not normal can help you determine when something is not right.

Twin Tech was great; they were honest, reliable and very thorough. I would recommend their services and will definitely be using them in the future.

by Sheila C. Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Hi Dave, Thank You Dave for coming to my aid this past summer when my AC quit. Your men did a great job installing and cleaning the area. The unit is working very well and i would highly recommend your company TwinTech. Dave you delivered what you sold and i truly appreciate it.

by Darin O. Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My experience with TWINTECH has been excellent, start to finish. While doing market research I made a list of several local companies and called them for some high-level information. Dave was the first to call me back, and the only one to book a meeting to see my place in order to give an informed, accurate estimate. He reviewed the different AC makes and models with me, explained the technology, and made a recommendation appropriate to my home. The installation went smoothly. I had one post-installation issue – there was moderate noise/vibrations coming from the duct system. I called about this, booked an appointment, and the technician resolved the issue during the service call. I feel assured having a 10-year warranty on parts & labour. I would recommend TWINTECH to anyone considering an AC or furnace for their home. Regards,

by Sam C, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave and the guys from Twintech did a great job of installing my AC. They came on time did a nice neat job and cleaned up after themselves! Do not waste your time call Twintech first.

by Mary W, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My AC unit was not working at all and our furnace that was still working but not giving us any trouble was over 15 years old. So I had 3 heating companies come out to give us a quote on replacing both the AC and the furnace at the same time. Two companies right away recommended that I replace both units simply because they were old. Dave from twintech however suggested that we save some money and replace the AC only because it seemed to him that the furnace was still in great shape and was running fine. He told us that he would have his technicians inspect the furnace thoroughly when they had it apart to install the AC. My husband was at home when the furnace was apart and was very impressed when the tech took him downstairs to personally show him that the furnace was in excellent working condition. He also cleaned the furnace at no extra charge. So now I have an honest heating and AC company that I can highly recommend to other home owners. Great job Thank You!

by Scott B, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had made the decision to replace my furnace and AC earlier this year. After meeting with several HVAC contractors I decided to go with Dave and his company. Dave was on time, polite, friendly and very professional. He took the time to answer all my questions and to explain the scope of work that would be required to do the job. The technicians arrived on time did a professional installation and completed the job on schedule. They respected my home by putting down vinyl runners to protect my floors and did a very thorough clean up. I’m very pleased with my decision to go with Dave and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering upgrading their furnace and air conditioner.

by Mel F, Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I have no problem in recommending Dave and the TWINTECH team to any home owner who is looking for quality heating and AC products and expert service.

by Eric Y, Greenbank on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Dave was great in helping me get the proper units for my property, as well as getting them installed. The installers arrived when they said they would, and completed the project on time, and professionally. If I needed another furnace, I would use Dave again.

by Ed B., Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I have known Greg and Grant Dainty for many years and have used their company for my house and business. I recommended them also for my parents and sister and they all have been very satisfied with the quality of work for a reasonable price. I just recently had them install a new HVAC system in an older house and was very pleased with their work. Craig in Pickering. After meeting with various heating and air conditioning contractors I was referred to Twin Tech Heating and Cooling through a family member. Greg and Grant arrived at my home and provided me with an estimate and a plan as to how they were going to remove and replace my furnace and air conditioner. On the day of install Greg and Grant arrived at my home on time and were very professional and extremely courteous as to any questions or concerns that I had. The removal and install was truly professional and the attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. I’ve seen many installs from other contractors and I couldn’t be any happier to have had such a clean looking install. The sheet metal work, ducting and venting all look fantastic. Upon completion Greg and Grant left me feeling extremely happy and very fortunate of a job well done. Thanks again Twin Tech!!
