If you’ve ever heard loud banging or clanging noises coming from your boiler, you’re not alone. Many homeowners experience this unsettling phenomenon, often wondering what could be causing it. At AN Heating Ltd, we’re here to shed light on this common issue and provide insights into why your boiler may be emitting such alarming sounds.
Understanding the Causes of Banging Boilers
There are several potential reasons why your boiler might be making banging noises:
- Kettling: This occurs when limescale builds up within the boiler’s heat exchanger, causing water to overheat and steam bubbles to form. When these bubbles collapse, they create the characteristic banging sound.
- Air in the System: Air trapped in the central heating system can cause water to circulate unevenly, leading to pockets of air that can cause banging noises as they move through the pipes.
- Faulty Components: Issues with specific boiler components, such as the pump or thermostat, can also contribute to strange noises emanating from the system.
