What a good question! If we could give you a yes or no answer, we’d be a little stuck. On one hand, we want to be absolutely honest, so we’d tell you that it might not mean that you’re in imminent danger. However, safety is always the number one priority, so we’d be irresponsible not to tell you that a booming furnace can be dangerous. It really depends on your furnace, your situation, and the time it’s gone without professional care.
We know that it might not be as helpful to hear that your furnace might need heating repair in Walnut Creek, CA. But we’ll spend this blog post explaining to you why a booming furnace might be a danger to your home and what you can do about it. We’ll start with what the booming noise is, and end with some steps you can take to fix it.
Don’t think we forgot about all the heat pump and furnace owners in our area. If you’re the owner of a forced-air heating system, then this blog post is specifically designed to help target a problem that we see all the time. We’re going to focus on issues with a blower motor, one of the integral components of a heating system that uses hot air to heat a home.
