What we did
The HVAC unit at this Danville home had gotten noticeably louder, with a sound resembling a lawn mower. We came out to inspect the system and identify the cause.
After evaluating the system, we found that the blower wheel needed to be replaced. The replacement wheel is scheduled to arrive soon. Before we concluded the visit, our technicians made sure the unit was operating smoothly in the meantime.
The blower wheel spins inside the unit to push air through the ductwork. When it wears, gets out of balance, or picks up damage, the result is often a loud rumbling noise like the one in this home. Ignoring that kind of sound can lead to more wear on the blower motor and bearings. Pinpointing the source early means the repair stays focused on one part instead of growing into a bigger job. Kentucky homes rely on the blower year round, for both heating and cooling, so it gets plenty of use. If your system has started sounding different, it is worth having it checked before the noise turns into a breakdown.
