Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning Outlines the Most Common Heating Problems & How to Repair Them

Strange Furnace Noises: One of the noises you might hear when you start your heating system is scraping. The scraping sounds are usually from a few different options that all need to be addressed. If the heating system is left on and the sound continues it could cause more damage. The first problem could be due to the blower wheel that has to have enough space to rotate. If the wheel becomes loose from the casing it can start to hit the walls. The blower wheel can be bent or the motor mount is broken. Whining noises are another sound that people will often hear when the heating system starts. This can be annoying to hear but can also be a problem that needs to be addressed. The sound can often come from a loose belt that is slipping. Some of the other reasons are more maintenance related and could be low on oil. If you hear any strange noises you want to be sure that they are inspected and repaired right away.
Strange Furnace Odors: Another problem that you might find when you start to use your heater is the odors. The heater should work without any sounds or odors. If you are smelling anything odd when your heater is on then you need to have it repaired. These could all be signs of problems and some of them are quite serious. One smell is when the dust on the heating coils are burned off. This will usually only happen when the heating system is very first turned on. If the smells stops after a few minutes then you should not have to worry about it. Another smell that you might notice from the heating system is rotten eggs. This is the smell that you never want to smell from any gas ran appliance. The natural gas that is ignited to start the heating process can sometimes leak. The gas has no odor or color which makes it very dangerous. The addition of the smell is added to the gas by your local gas company. This is to help you identify a leak. You want to air out the house and also turn off the unit as soon as possible.
