My boiler makes funny noises, what does this mean?

Clunking and banging noises are called ‘Kettling’ noises, these noises are usually caused when limescale accumulates on the heat exchanger, this causes the water to boil, steam and expand. This problem can significantly reduce efficiency and may cause further damage.

Whistling noises can also occur, this can be caused by kettling or air can be trapped in the system, releasing the air can resolve the issue, a loss of water pressure or a blockage can also cause whistling.
