How to stop your Boiler gurgling noises?

Boiler Gurgling noises are a sign that air has become trapped inside the system and is mixing with the water. While this is usually not a significant problem, it should be resolved as soon as possible. The simplest way to do this is by bleeding your radiators.

Way to fix your boiler gurgling noises

Turn on your heating system to allow your radiators to warm up. Once they are warm, carefully feel the surface of each radiator. If certain parts of the radiator feel cooler it is likely that a pocket of air is trapped there. Turn off the heating and allow the radiators to cool.

Next, place the radiator key in the radiator valve of every radiator with potential trapped air and place a bucket. Turn the key anti-clockwise until you hear a hissing noise - this means that air is leaving the system.

Once the hissing has stopped and only water is coming out, close the radiator valve by turning the key clockwise. Repeat this process for the other affected radiators. You can now check the water pressure on your boiler to see if the level has decreased, and if the gurgling noises have stopped.

Summary

• If a boiler is making a strange and unexpected noise, there are several potential reasons for it.
• Gurgling noises are caused by trapped air, and can be resolved by bleeding radiators.
