Weird noises coming from heat pipes in the wall
I have absolutely no idea what type of heater/furnace I have in my house. Anyway, this is my second winter living in my new home. This winter has been especially cold. Recently, I was awakened in the middle of the night by the sounds of water flowing through pipes in the wall. I soon realized it was probably my heater turning on to heat the house. I had never heard this before, not even the prior winter. I continue to hear water running through pipes whenever the heat is about to turn on.
Again, I have no idea what kind of heater I have. What I do know is that electricity or gas heats water, which is then used to heat the house. Heat does not come out of air ducts, but from baseboard heaters. However, I have no idea what this water nonsense is! It's extremely loud and doesn't sound normal. Can anyone help? Katie |

Sounds like you have air in the water lines. Your house is heated by the hot water circulating through the coils in the baseboard heaters. You will want to get the air removed from the lines. Time to call a pro. Its hard to remove the air from the lines if you do not know what you are doing and dangerous. ( The water is hot and under pressure.)
