How Loud Is a “Too Loud” Sound?

Monday, December 18th, 2023

One of the most basic tips we give homeowners during the winter season is for them to pay attention to any uncomfortable or loud heater noises that come up. Heating systems are designed to operate softly in the background, and a loud sound is one of the most obvious signs that something is wrong.

However, one thing we don’t often cover is how loud a sound should be before you call for professional help. This can be tricky to figure out since everyone is different. Your mother might be hard of hearing and might wait until a heater is unbearably loud before calling for help–which is usually too late. But if you’re too aware and call for help every time there’s a gentle noise coming from the vents, then you’re likely just hearing sounds that the system should make.

So, what’s a sound that’s too loud? Find out by reading our guide below. Just make sure you call us for heater repair in Stockton, CA when you’re certain that you need help.
