First, two-stage furnaces routinely operate at a lower setting, which makes less noise than a full-powered single-stage furnace. Second, two-stage furnaces don’t turn on and off like their single-stage counterparts. Single-stage furnaces often make rattling, popping, banging, and scraping sounds.

Common furnace problems that require servicing or repair include clogged filters, faulty ignitors or ignition failures, broken thermostats, fuel pump issues, and airflow obstructions or other airflow-related issues.
