Furnace Noises and What They Mean

Furnace Noises and What They Mean

Has your furnace ever made a strange noise? There could be several reasons why your furnace is making noises. If you hear a whistling noise coming from your return air duct, that could be because of a dirty air filter. If your furnace is experiencing vibrations, squealing, and grinding noises, this can be a sign of a motor bearing issue. If popping or banging noises are coming from your furnace, this may be a sign of high heat rise.


Heat rise can lead to cracks and expansion within the heat exchangers, which can lead to a leak of CO in your home. If you are experiencing any of these furnace-related issues, make sure to call a technician to source and fix the problem.


Another potential cause of strange noises is running your furnace without a filter. Air filters prevent dust, hair, and lint from building up in the evaporator coil. A dirty coil restricts airflow in the system and can also lead to high heat rise if you’re not regularly cleaning it.


Often when the furnace fan begins to make noise, it’s because dirt has built up around the blower wheels. These wheels will need to be removed and cleaned to prevent overheating, and if left unattended, this could lead to the fan breaking down. Sometimes, selecting the wrong furnace fan speed can also be the source of strange noises.


It’s best practice to schedule a regular maintenance routine of your furnace to stop strange noises and ensure it is running smoothly.


At Twintech, we specialize in heating and cooling units. If there is a problem with your furnace or air conditioner, you can rely on us to fix it. Our experienced technicians can help locate the source of the problem and find a solution. We can also schedule a maintenance session if needed.

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

by Anna Chin on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Amazing experience with TwinTech Heating & Cooling! Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They installed my new furnace quickly and left everything spotless. The technicians took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable with the system before they left. Great customer service and fair pricing. I highly recommend them for anyone needing HVAC services!

by Connor Agnew on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.

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!!

by Courtney Parkes on Twintech Heating and Cooling
