A friend of mine asked me to pop round to their elderly parents as they have a wining noise coming from their central heating. The noise sounds like the neighbours are doing the hoovering (ie a quiet hum). It is coming from the airing cupboard. The pipes coming out of the pump are vibrating a liitle and the man of the house says the pipes never used to vibrate. My guess it its the pump but i dont want to be replacing the stuff unnecessary. They have had no work done in the house in recent months and the pump has been in for quite a few years
The system has a hot water cyclinder, a 3way valve and a pump with an old fashioned controller (manual type that has a timer that turns around- this make a noise but not the hum)
noise is driving them crazy to the point where sometimes they turn the heating of to get away from it
Any ideas?
