I had thermostatic valves added to some of my radiators in the house this year. Ever since doing so, the pipes make a clicking and clunking sound everytime the heating comes on or goes off. Is this a coincidence or do the valves cause this noise. I assume it is air in the system. can someone...

Hi, I have a large old steel double radiator (circa 30 years old) which is working okay but since it's been part of our new combi boiler system (until recently it was part of a conventional gravity system) it makes loud creaking noises whenever the boiler comes on. We have discovered that the...

Hello forum, my boiler woke me up in the morning about three weeks ago. It was making very loud banging noises and the pressure gauge started going crazy from 2bar to 2.5 bar. So i reset the boiler was working normal again. Now today it done it again, I think both times either the hot water or...

My mum had a BG combi boiler fitted 6 years ago to replace an old boiler on a 35 year old central heating system. She's had a Homecare 400 contract to service the boiler annually; all fine until this year. It was serviced 2 weeks ago; apparently all ok. The house isn't being lived in full...

The boiler feeds indirect hot water and ten radiators through a divertor valve. It is about 12 years old. There is a room thermostat (set high) and individual TRVs. The boiler can come on for about 20-30 sec. when all TRVs are closed and there is no demand for hot water. If this happens, water...

We have an old Potterton Prima B boiler, up until now working fine. We went away for several days, leaving HW and CH on (with rads low). We returned to find everything off and the pilot light out. I re-lit the pilot light and since then it runs for a while (sometimes as long as a whole day)...

THere have been a few similar questions - but so far none seem to fit my customers problem. 1 year old unvented system. Was fine for over 9 months then noises started on drawing off water from some of the taps. Best described as a deep groaning noise which goes on for 10-15 secs. Seems to come...

We have a pressurised system that comes directly from the mains, we seem to have intermittent banging noises (almost like a pneumatic drill!) which seem to only effect the shower system (which is connect directly to the mains - no pump). When the shower is running the noises go away. But if...

Luckily my kettling baxi boiler is being replaced on Friday by a new Vaillant Combi but in the last couple of weeks I've noticed incredibly loud noises coming from the pipes that lead from the boiler under the floor. It sounds like someone is literally banging the pipes with a hammer or smacking...

The original problem was that noises were coming from a commercial installations hot water system. Initially the problem was resolved by installing an air vent to the flow and return of the domestic pipe work but now the noises have returned after a month. Has any body got any idea what is...

My bedroom radiator has a Belmont Pegler thermostatic valve with a chrome 'Button' on the top. It is about 12 years old. If I leave the radiator on, after 45 minutes or so I start to hear a bit of a whine which builds up and then a few moments later I get a horrible vibration which sounds like a...

I had a new Worcester Bosch 12Ri fitted about 4 months ago. I has been performing fine and my gas bills are a lot less than my old Apollo 15/30b. However over the last few weeks, I have been having gurgling / whoshing noises from the hot water system. The whoshing noise is only there when...
