Furnace Scraping Noise Fixed in Oklahoma City: Blower Wheel Replacement & Safety Check

Blower Wheel Replacement & Flue Vent Safety Check: These essential services are often part of furnace repair in Oklahoma City. They ensure your system runs safely and efficiently.

When a homeowner in Oklahoma City heard a loud metal-on-metal scraping noise coming from their furnace, they knew it was time to call in the pros. Our team at Yarbrough & Sons Heating, Cooling & Plumbing responded quickly. We aimed to get their comfort—and safety—back on track.

🛠 What We Found

Upon inspection, we discovered the set screw on the blower wheel had come loose. This caused the wheel to shift and damage the shaft—one of the most common causes of scraping or grinding noises inside a furnace. If left unaddressed, this kind of issue can reduce airflow. It can also lead to serious mechanical failure.

✅ We replaced the damaged blower wheel
✅ Ran a full system check to ensure safe, smooth operation

🔎 Bonus Safety Check

While servicing the furnace, our technician noticed the flue vent wasn’t properly connected to the furnace. This is a critical safety concern. A loose or disconnected flue can leak harmful gases like carbon monoxide into the home.

⚠️ We recommended installing an appliance adapter to properly seal the vent
