diagnose cause of noise coming from furnace
Our furnace, York, affinity series was making a rumbling noise. I called the firm that usually does the annual inspection and they
advised that it might be the gas control valve, but they would consult with the York technician . They returned the following day and after conducting some tests advised that the noise might be coming from the ventor motor. They returned the following day and installed a new ventor motor but the noise persisted. They then advised that it may be caused by a defective secondary
heat exchanger but would contact the York technician again and report back. After two days with no response I phoned Atlas Care
and requested that they send a technician. Technician Joe Ferreira arrived on time and did a thorough inspection of our furnace. Joe found that all the systems of the furnace were functioning according to specifications but that the noise persisted. Joe then contacted a co-worker technician and they discussed the problem at great length and came to the conclusion that there may be a leaking gasket at the heat exchanger collection box. . Joe then tightened all the collector box screws
and the noise went away. Joe was a very knowledgeable and efficient Technician and resolved the problem on one visit
