Rest easy with Twin City boiler repair

Saint Paul, MN -- (SBWire) -- 02/15/2018 --A boiler that's whistling, knocking or clunking is probably on the fritz—and may put Minnesota families at risk for scalding or other dangers. Twin City homeowners with uproarious boilers should be aware of the common causes of these malfunctions.

1. Trapped air. When air pockets disrupt the flow of water through a residential boiler, it results in a whistling, gurgling or "kettling" sound. A professional HVAC company in Ramsey County can bleed the system, eliminating unwanted air and restoring water flow. It is unwise for homeowners to bleed boiler systems themselves since scalding water is purged during the process.

2. Limescale buildup. As minerals coat pipes and sediment collects in a boiler's tank, knocking and clunking sounds result. This limescale also disrupts the flow of water and leads to dangerous (and noisy) steam pressure. While a boiler relief valve can help take the pressure off, untreated mineral buildup may damage internal components and reduce heating efficiency.

3. High thermostat setting. When a boiler's thermostat is elevated, it causes rapid boiling inside the water heater tank. To eliminate this type of kettling noise, homeowners can try lowering the thermostat setting. If a boiler's thermostat is damaged, though, it needs to be promptly replaced by a qualified boiler repair technician.
