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.

by MB, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Installation was done quickly and professionally. The new furnace is quiet and provides even heat.

by Richard from Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!

by Darcy from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

This company was great to deal with. Our furnace went down and they installed a new furnace the next day with a lot of professionalism!

by gillian hooton from Uxbridge on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Finally! An honest company with highly knowledgeable and informative staff. Had a furnace service and found multiply errors in our system from an amateur installer. Very fair price to correct problems and will definitely use again.

by alisiena from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Fantastic team. Completed the job as per the specifications and in under 3 hours. Highly recommended Twintech.

by David from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

During the summer, I previously hired TwinTech to replace my air conditioner when it failed. They did an excellent job so when I decided to proactively replace the furnace I contacted them. The furnace I had was 22 years old and showed signs of internal leakage. It still worked but rather than wait to have it fail in cold weather, I decided to purchase a higher efficiency model before it failed and take advantage of energy efficiency rebates. TwinTech offered very useful advice on the make and model of furnace to choose including high efficiency and variable speed motor. The price was reasonable, TwinTech arrived at the allotted time, installed the new furnace (including some re-routing of exhaust lines since the existing ones were too close to other vents), removed the old furnace, tested the installation and cleaned everything up. Overall, it was a good experience, they did a great job and the new furnace is working well.

by Jaime-Lynne in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Greg came over at 9:30pm to rescue my daughter and I from a horrible experience with Enercare that evening. He was professional. Kind. And got us what we needed quickly and at an afford price. I would 100% recommend calling on Greg and his team for any of your heating and cooling needs in the future!!

by Matt C. Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Installed a great hot water heater when our old one failed. When my furnace died during cold weather they showed up quickly and my house was warm before my wife got home. :)

by B Davis in Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I don’t usually right reviews but when you receive service like this I felt it was a must. Honest and fair. I Have 4 children and on Xmas eve my furnace stopped working and a gentleman came out and got me up and running so at least we would have heat for the holidays. As promised he would replace my furnace early in the new year. The job was completed on time, great price for quality furnace and extremely clean and professional job. Would have never known anyone was in the house. Not a spec of dust or mess from lugging out an old rusty furnace. If you have any ac or heating concerns twintech is your only option. I was royally impressed with and I’m sure you will be too.
