Why is my boiler making loud noises?

Loud noises from your boiler may be caused by trapped air in the system, low water pressure, or a failing pump. These issues can affect the efficiency of your boiler and may lead to more serious problems if not addressed. It’s important to schedule a boiler repair to fix the issue and prevent further damage.
