New furnace is making a clicking/ticking noise
I recently had a new Goodman furnace installed in my apartment and it started making an intermittent clicking/ticking noise. It didn't make this noise when I ran the heat in April and didn't make it the whole summer when I ran the AC. The intermittent noise is short and varies in how loud it is. It even makes the ticking sound when the furnace is off. Any information would be great as I have had issues with the maintenance people and am trying to get more information before I contact them. Thanks

Where is it coming from within the furnace? The burner compartment? The blower?

General pictures of the furnace, no, they will not really help.
Does this noise happen when just the blower is running? Or only when the heat is running?

Both I think, It even happens when the furnace is off. I know very little about any of this but somebody else on another forum gave a response that I thought made sense, heres his response.
"Could it be expanding and contracting sheet metal when the furnace cycles? Wouldn't necessarily happen when the furnace is running. Could be after the furnace is off, but still warm/cooling down?"

I live in an apartment as stated so its not that easy to just call the company that installed the furnace. I could try and find out which company that is i suppose. Yes Ive had the same thermostat for several years. I realize this forum is more for homeowners, but Ive had many issues with the maintenance so I'm just trying to get more information. The maintenance just left and said there's nothing they can do about it, I will be recontacting the property manager and go from there.

This forum is for homeowners as well apartment or condo dwellers as well as pros.
And as a pro...... I would go back and fix the problem no charge.
Unfortunately the majority of the "hired help" or maintenance guys are clueless about most HVAC issues.
You don't have a common problem so it's hard for us to help you without knowing exactly where the problem is located. Too many things could be ticking/clicking.

Thanks for that response Pete, I appreciate it! Yea I'm realizing now that this is a somewhat an unusual issue I'm having. So I just listened very carefully and it sounds like its coming from more the ventilation than the furnace itself. The one part already looks somewhat corroded and I just saw that the insulation on a pipe is coming off as well. Here are some pics. Is it recommend to get a new thermostat when a new furnace is installed? I didn't mention that I also had a new Goodman AC installed around the same time I had the furnace installed.
