    Trouble shooting the hot water boiler
    We have hot water heating and when the boiler comes on after a few minutes when it is shutting down it makes a weird noise. Can you let me know why this is happening
    Thanks

    Without being there its hard to guess,, is it a metal to metal rattle? Is it a sound that maybe a small explosion like when the gas goes out,, is it even a gas fired boiler or oil burner maybe

    Maybe a clanging sound from a damper closing,, does it keep you awake (very loud) kind of noise

    NO, it is not a metal to metal sound. It is just probably when the damper is closing it is more a screechy sound. Then ithe boiler stops, it is a gas boiler.
