Hi,
I wondered if anybody could advise before I perhaps call out a technician.
When my central heating is on (boiler is an Apollo Fanfare S), once the radiators have warmed up, there is intemitenty a loud tapping noise (of approx 8 taps). I guess it is coming from the pipes but I can not narrow it down to any one pipe, as the noise is just as loud in any room in my house. There was no noise last winter from the central heating.
This happens continously when the boiler is on "low" setting. However, when it is on "high" setting it stops. However, I was worried about leaving it on the "high" setting all the time for efficiency/cost. As there was no manual for the boiler when I moved in, I am not entirely sure of the differences of having it on the "high" or "low" setting.
My question is may there be a solution to the tapping (without having to pull all the floorboards up)? Or should I not worry anyway and just leave it on high setting?
Thanks for any help. I would much appreciate advice before I take the plunge and call somebody out to look at it.
