Why Is My Boiler Making Loud Noises?

Why Is My Boiler Making Loud Noises?

It can be very unsettling to find your boiler producing loud and unpleasant noises. You might wonder what could be the cause of the noises or even presume your boiler has sustained damage. However, boiler noises should not cause you to panic. If you find your boiler making loud noises contact A-Plus Quality, HVAC services in the Greater Toronto Area, to have the problem diagnosed and fixed. A certified technican will check for the source of your boiler noises and make any necessary boiler repairs. 


Possible Causes of Boiler Noises

During the diagnosis of the cause of your boiler noises, an HVAC technican will consider the kind of sounds produced. This action gets carried out to deduce the source of the problem. The type of noises taken into consideration are:


1. Kettling Noises

Clunking sounds and banging sounds are called kettling. If your boiler produces such noises, the problem might be that the boiler has developed limescale inside. This limescale creates a layer in-between the heat exchanger, making kettling noises as the water inside boils through it.


2. Whistling Noises

This kind of noise is very alarming to most people. However, they are not signs of severe boiler damage. These sounds relate to kettling or sometimes caused by trapped air inside the boiler. Other causes of whistling sounds are partial blockage of pipes or a rapid increase in water pressure due to overheating.


3. Gurgling Noises

In most cases, the cause of this kind of noise is likely trapped air in the boiler. This often culminates from leaking pipes. During cold seasons production of gurgling noises by the boiler indicates frozen pipes.


Solving Boiler Noises

If you identify the above noises emanating from your boiler, contact us today and a certified techinican from A-Plus Quality, HVAC services in the Greater Toronto Area, will help you fix the issues. If they find air trapped in your boiler, they will check for pipe licks and fix them. However, if there are no licks, they will arrange to drain the trapped air from your boiler.

FAQ

  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.
