We have a dull,rumbling noise when windy.m coming from the chimney area of a bungalow. I am afraid that the house will blow up or catch fire am l right to be concerned. I hear a loud boom noise coming from the chimney off and on my husband says the chimney needs cleaning is this dangerous. Watch out: The safest approach would be to turn off whatever is venting into the chimney, then call for diagnosis and repair first by a service technician for the equipment and second, depending on what she finds, a chimney inspection by a certified chimney sweep.Ī lost chimney cap can be enough to have damaged the flue or cause improper heating equipment venting.īut an improper gas burner that's booming could risk a more dangerous gas explosion. I agree with your husband that this sounds like an operating problem with heating equipment venting into the chimney or a problem in the chimney itself. Please help me understand this phenomena, and in addition provide enough ancillary knowledge to assure my sanity, given this "crazy" occurrence.

The noise is much louder on the second floor than in the basement on main level. As soon as the furnace quits, but while the fan is still running, the noise stops. The rattling builds as the furnace fan starts and builds up the entire time the furnace is running. Our thirty year old house's gas furnace chimney has started making rattling sounds while the furnace is running. Start by asking for help from your heating service tech to rule out unsafe or improper operations at the burner itself (you don't mention if it's oil or gas or electric), and rule out a chimney hazard. That could be simply something that's looser when warm than when cooler. When there's a rattling sound I look first for loose mechanical components: ductwork sections, a loose blower door, loose fan components.īut your note that the noise is gone when the fan runs but the furnace itself (its burner) is off suggests the noise may be related to the presence of heat.
