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 Trevor Owens on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. I’ve used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. He’s great and the service is always top notch. I’d highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!

by Nicole Alain on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!

Just hired TwinTech Heating & Cooling to do an A/C Unit removal & reinstall to allow for landscaping access on the side of my house, and they were wonderful!
Bob, Greg & Mitch make a great team! Quick appointment times, super knowledgeable, expert troubleshooting capabilities & very customer service oriented.
I would highly recommend them for all of your HVAC needs! Great job guys!!

Twintech Heating & Cooling installed my furnace in 2022 and in fall of 2023 installed my Panasonic Heat Pump. Greg and Mitch did a great job. Helped me through the rebate process. Super happy with the Heat Pump. Only used my furnace 5 times this winter. Energy bills lower, carbon emissions lower.Thank you Twintech. I recommend highly!

Just had a new furnace installed by Twintech. I can’t express how great these guys are at what they do. From the sales to installation they were professional all the way. Very reasonable pricing and courteous during the installation and willing to answer any questions I had. Highly recommended !!!

by Colin Vernon on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They've cleaned my furnace a couple of times and mentioned that the hot water tank standards were going to change soon so I decided to change mine out.

There were a few challenges during the process but the installers handled the problems without missing a stride! I now have really hot water again!

by Heidi B on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Bob and Greg made us feel comfortable withe process through their thorough explanation and knowledge of the right furnace for our needs.

Customer service and knowledge is priority in this industry, and Twintech has it. I've dealt with their team for maintenance and a furnace replacement. They're accommodating and make great recommendations, and came through at a great price over the big guys in the industry. They'll be my next call when I need service or maintenance.

by Leonard Glass on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I decided that the noises and age of the existing furnace which was old and not very efficient to replace it. Gave Greg a call and Grant and Greg got to work on it. Because of supply issues with the current heating type that would be an easier install Greg convinced me to change the location of the system and it would provide me better service for heat and efficiency. I had skeptical but went ahead anyway putting trust in Greg And Grant. Greg, Grant and Mitch came through and in 2 days had completely relocated my heating and A/C system. I can honestly say Greg was right my old house has been warmer and more evenly heated as it ever was. For anyone reading this rather long winded review can take my word for it, Twin Tech can take care of your needs.
