Hi everyone,
I am looking for some advice on my new boiler (just fitted 2 weeks ago) and the dreadful noises that I am now suffering with ,when i lived in a quiet house before......
I understand that my system is now pressurized so pipework is probably under more strain and the noise is likely pipes hitting joists.
The make of the boiler is Worcester Bosch (sorry not sure of model number) it is a combi boiler, wall mounted in my kitchen and was installed by Brit Gas.The boiler I had before was a Baxi back boiler and i didn't have problems with noise.
The problem that I have is at intermittent times of the day (often 6 in the morning and late at night) there is an almighty noise, not unlike someone starting to use a hammer drill ,it wakes me up (no doubt also wakes my neighbors) and lasts for several seconds.I am also getting a throbbing thudding noise when i put on the kitchen tap (Monobloc type) which is also intermittent but is by no means as much as a problem as the other noise (maybe they are part and parcel of the same problem?).
I have had B.Gas round who passed it over to Dyno-Rod who fitted new insides to toilet cistern which has actually made my problems worse (tap thudding noise came after this was done).
I have to fix this soon for I can't live with this noise ,it also appears to be coming from different parts of the house rather than in one specific area all the time.
My floors are laminated wood so i can't look at the pipe-work without destroying four floors (something i don't wish to do)
Can someone please advise what this problem might be caused by and how it can be cured.... if destroying the floors is my only option then so be it but at least i will know.
Maybe it's air,maybe it's a tap/toilet etc?
I am having another engineer round Saturday and would like to have some knowledge to hand rather than being fobbed off with something by them that might not be my only option or that is incorrect.
All ideas happily welcomed I have trawled the forums looking for answers to no avail!
Many thanks in advance
Andy
