Why Is My Heater Making Clicking Noises

Loud clicking sounds can be heard when inducer blowers and fan shafts are clogged by buildup or when bearings are worn out. Bearings on the main blower motor might click as the furnace runs because the shaft is rusted or dirty. Cleaning and lubricating the fan shaft will help fix the problem and prevent premature wear.

Why is my heater making weird noises?

The ducts that send warm air throughout your home are made of thin metal. The metal can expand when heated and will contract as it cools down after the furnace cycles off. As the metal ducts expand, they typically make a banging or booming noise.

How do I stop my heater from making noise?

  1. Turn it off the system before bleeding.
  2. Look for the small valve present under the end cap of the radiator and rotate it counterclockwise to remove the air pressure.
  3. As the air exits the pipes and the water starts to trickle out, you should close the valve.
