Possible Reasons Behind Noisy Air Vents at Home

If you seek HVAC maintenance advice from top air conditioning companies like All Seasons Inc., you should know that air vent noises are indicators of possible problems with your heating and cooling system. Here are a few examples of what you may have to deal with if you have noisy air vents at home.

Narrow or Damaged Ducts

Air ducts are designed to allow air to flow freely in certain volumes. If you hear noise coming from your vents, you may have ducts that have come loose or are simply too narrow to function as intended. Your ducts may have also been damaged, causing them to leak air and produce a hissing sound.

Clogged or Damaged Filters

Noisy vents may also indicate that your HVAC system is clogged with dirt or needs a filter change. Make sure to have only certified furnace companies like All Seasons Inc. inspect and replace your filters for you.

Debris or Obstructions 

It’s possible for things to get stuck inside your HVAC unit if they’re small enough and you’re not careful. Tiny screws, small pieces of trash and even toys can end up in your ductwork and cause rattling behind your vents. Always keep the area around your heating and cooling units clean to prevent such a situation from happening. If you do end up dealing with obstructions, have a professional retrieve them for you.
