A boiler expert has shared what these noises mean and whether or not you can fix the issue yourself
A plumbing expert is warning homeowners of sounds that should never be ignored if you hear them coming from your boiler. BOXT CEO, Andy Kerr, says it is important to take action if your boiler starts making noises that don't sound normal.
Whistling/hissing/high-pitched sound: One cause of a noisy boiler could be kettling, which happens when the flow of water through the boiler slows down, causing the water to be overheated and reach boiling point - this is when you can hear a kettling noise. In this scenario, it’s not something you should try and resolve yourself, and instead need to call a Gas Safe engineer as it could be related to the gas supply to your property.
Banging sounds: A loud banging noise can come from limescale buildup inside your heat exchanger, a faulty boiler thermostat, or it could be something as simple as your thermostat being set incorrectly.
