What's causing my ductwork to pop when the furnace starts or stops?
Popping sounds are not unusual if there’s a flaw or damage in your ductwork. The actual sounds appear when there’s more airflow than your ductwork can manage. Trouble with your ductwork can lead to other ventilation and air quality concerns, such as:
- Constant or annoying noise
- Greater energy waste
- Early equipment failure
- Inconsistent heating and cooling
- Damage to the AC’s compressor
- Overheating
- Mold and mildew growth
-
Should I install a zoning system?
A whole-home zoning system helps you optimize where heating and cooling is concentrated. With extra thermostats and dampers installed in the ductwork, each zone’s temperature can be uniquely controlled.
