Noises In A Boiler

A noisy boiler is more than likely due to the build up of something called limescale that will amass in the heat exchanger portion of the boiler. This problem can be exacerbated by an additional element called magnetite, because together they will form a very hard deposit. there are other things that can find their way into a boiler like brick dust and sand which adds to the hardened mass inside. There is also the locality and water type. South Bank Plumbers carry out grade ‘A’ repairs and installations. This applies to the elements that are dissolved in the water that can cause limescale. The boiler noise itself is purely down to a high speed condensation or the steam in water that implodes. The mass within the boiler is subject to a boiling on on its surface that makes steam bubbles which will rattle as they release to flow around a heating system. If a new boiler is fitted in an older system it can be plagued by an oxide type of sludge, which is disturbed or loosened by the efficient new boiler which then flows away but returns to the new heat exchanger in the new boiler, which of course create the same scenario. A South Bank Plumber is trained to work on heating systems. You shouldn’t think that fixing a noisy boiler is as simple as bleeding the radiators. The majority of boiler issues need the skills of a Gas safe Register Approved Heating Engineer but there are some checks that you can do that could help you give an engineer more information about the nature of the problem. Try lowering the boiler thermostat. Now, while this may stop the noise, it might also lower the radiator temperatures. If the boiler thermostat is unserviceable it will need to be replaced. You could try and sort the problem by introducing a chemical agent. although this This means you will need to shut down the system, add the product to feed and expansion tank and let it to work for a few days. Finally, drain and flush the system through. The best solution really is to call a professional.



Rate of Flow:With modern, wall-hung, lightweight gas boilers, water flow rate is particularly important. Check that the mains water is on and check your feed and expansion tank (they’re usually found in the loft).
Float Valve:
First, shut down your central heating boiler.
Locate the tanks and double check that the  isn’t stuck. If it is, you’ll have to move its metal arm to release it.float valve
Check that the open  is correctly installed. If not, air can get into the system, causing noise in the boiler. If this is the case, you’ll need to enlist the help of a professional heating engineer.safety-vent pipe
