Why my furnace makes clicking noise

Why Is My Furnace Clicking?

As with any device created by humans, the furnace also can go broken. It is difficult not to notice since they are manifested in their appearance of characteristic sounds. Pops, clicks, and noises in the furnace indicate a malfunction in the heating system. It is better not to delay the elimination of the problem. It can lead to complete failure of the unit. Let’s figure out why the furnace clicks.

What are the common causes of furnace clicks?

Thermocouple:

A thermocouple is a flame sensor that detects a flame and opens valves to release gas. If the sensor is malfunctioning, it will not detect the spark igniter, so it will not open the valves and let the gas through.

Pilot light/flame problems:

The pilot flame may not reach the flame sensor due to improper gas/air mixture. This can result in a “clicking” sound.

Gas valve not energized:

If there is no gas, there is no heat either. The gas shutoff valve prevents the igniter from igniting, so it keeps clicking.

All of the above problems should be corrected by an HVAC expert. You can call us at the Vese Heating & Cooling. We’re happy to go out and diagnose “this click”!

Faulty gas valve

Does it click at irregular intervals? In this case, a defective gas valve may be the cause. The gas valve supplies fuel to the pilot light and burner. A broken valve cannot regulate how much gas reaches the heating elements. The pilot light may try to re-ignite, causing the awful clicking sound of the furnace. Gas valve – is it your fault? A defective gas valve is more than just a nuisance; This is urgent. Too much fuel can build up inside your system, causing a dangerous gas leak. This situation is a matter for professionals. Turn off the furnace and gas supply and call your local HVAC technician immediately.
