A noisy boiler can be a sign of a serious issue, but not all sounds are cause for concern.
A boiler on the blink can be the difference between a good day and a bad one. There's nothing quite like waking up in the morning and finding that either the heating has not come on or your shower is freezing cold.
Whistling Kerr explains that one common issue causing a noisy boiler is kettling, which occurs when water flow through the boiler slows, leading to overheating and boiling point, hence the kettling noise. Often this is due to circulatory problems, indicating that water isn't being effectively pumped or moved around the system. This could be a sign of a faulty pump or central heating system issues.
Dripping sounds These noises are often caused by trapped air in your radiator. Sometimes, the gurgling sound coming from your boiler is just the hot water moving, so there's no reason to worry. If these aren't causing the issue, they may need to inspect the pipework under your flooring to ensure it's properly clipped and supported. A Gas Safe registered engineer can also identify if the problem originates from your system circulation heat exchanger. In this case, a central heating system flush might be necessary to resolve the issue if it's due to a buildup of magnetite, debris or dirt.
