Why do my radiators make a banging noise?

June 13, 2009 / by Barry Reynolds

If you hear loud banging noise when the central heating is turned on, this could indicate a fault. This could be due to a build up of lime scale or sludge which would need to be chemically treated. It may also be due to a build up of air which can be solved by bleeding the radiators.

If the radiators need regular bleeding then a heating engineer needs to investigate the problem further to locate the leak.
