Hi,
I live in a rented property, there's an Ideal/Istor boiler upstairs in a cupboard no where near an external wall. So on top of the boilers there's two transparent tubes running up into the loft and over to the roof (I'm assuming the flue).
Anyway, when the boiler comes on there's a loud bang that I think is echoing up through the tubes and out of the roof. Kind of sounds like a shot gun going off (not quite a loud) but like that sort of sound. Sometimes there's only a slight bang you can hardly hear. Other times it's quite loud and it can be heard down stairs in the living room. I think the echo from the bang might be going outside and the neighbors could here it late a night lol
We've lived her for about 7 months and it didn't do it when we first moved in. One day the heating wasn't working, and I worked out it was the thermostat downstairs causing it. A guy came out and replaced it and the heating was working again. But he had the case of the boiler so might have adjusted something. It's been doing it since guy had been there, but seems to be getting louder.
What could be causing that? And is it anything to worry about?
