Loud Noise in American Standard Electric Heat
We bought our house over a year ago, and at that time everything was fine and passed all inspections. The whole house is electric and the heater and A/C are American Standard. Just this week, we hear a really loud sort of creaking or metallic sound throughout the air ducts when the unit turns on, almost like the unit is hesitating to turn on though it could be the noise is so loud that we don't actually hear it on. A repair dealer told us to check all of our duct work first because it may be a loose duct causing the problem. What should we look at or check and how do we fid it? Could it possibly be a leak or anything like that? How do we make sure it isn't the blower or if it is the blower like a loose belt or something can we fix it ourselves or get help?
