St. George Furnace Repairs

Banging coming from your ventilation system in your St. George home may be a familiar sound when the furnace kicks on, however the knocking noise could signal a necessary repair. When a furnace bangs or knocks upon startup, this could be simply due to increased air pressure expanding the ductwork or something possibly dangerous such as buildup on the furnace coils stopping the furnace from lighting immediately. The banging noise originates from after the gas has been building up waiting for the pilot light to ignite and when it does eventually after an increased amount of time, the built up gas ignites causing a loud noise that can be heard from all over your home. Since St. George homeowners are increasing their usage of heating furnaces, the risk of a fire from the constant relighting of clogged furnace pilots is currently at an annual high. Inspecting your furnace before use is ideal, however if no inspection has been made and you are beginning to hear the furnace knock, call HiCaliber of St. George for an immediate inspection and repairs if needed.
