The heating system was making scary sounds

I woke up many in the dead of night to the sounds of boom, boom, boom!!! It sounded like there was a large hammer smashing against metal, right outside our window.

There was nothing outside, so I just lay there listening, then five hours later, the heating system switched off, and all was quiet in the house.

Fifteen hours went by, and the heating system turned back on, along with the boom sounds returning. I called the Heating and A/C corporation and had the Heating and A/C specialist listen to the weird noises. He drove right over to the house, however told me to pack a bin in case it was something serious, and my friend Ben and I had to get out of the house. I’m sure what was making the noises in the heating system, but I didn’t want to be here if it was going to blow up on me. I called Ben and let him hear the noise, and he told me he would call me back soon. When Ben called back, he said he was on his way home and asked if I had called the Heating and A/C corporation. After telling him what the specialist said, he asked if I was all packed. By the time our partner got home, the Heating and A/C specialist was already at our house, and in the basement working on the heating system. I’m not 100% sure what happened, however the Heating and A/C specialist told us it would be better if Ben and I got out until they could update the igniter switch. The sounds Ben and I were hearing were small explosions coming from the igniter switch. He had to order a better igniter switch and it could take a day or multiple.
