    Noise in baseboard heat pipes wnen heat is off
    I am having intermittent pinging and clunking noises in the pipes for my hot water baseboard heating. The heat is not on. Does any one have any idea what is going on or how to fix it. My house is sold with inspections on Tuesday. I am in a panic about what to do.
