Lots of them!

I have own (with the Bank) a 70 yr.old house and the furnace is the original. A black and white unit that works with OIL to heat the circulating water. It was classified recently as working 75% BUT it does a have a BIG problem. When the water is heated and begins to fill the pipes we getting banging, loud at times, in the bedroom and bathroom. It goes away after the radiator is heated. Is there anyway I can relieve that pressure and stop the banging.

Steam or hot water? Pressure in boiler? Could be perculating or better guess based on age is sediment in the boiler core. There are boiler treatments to help this problem, then follow the directions on the bottle.
