Good Morning!
I had a new Bryant boiler installed in my home about nine years ago. They didn't install an air removal device and used the old espansion tank (non-bladder). I have a two story cape-cod.
I recent had to resolder a connection to a radiator, replace a few bleeder screws and remove a radiator due to a remodel project. At the same time my boiler began to bang whem the burner warms up. When the boiler turns off and just the circulation pump is running all is well.
I've had 2 different companies come over to take a look. The first suggested that I replace the pump, a Taco 007 F5, which I did. The second suggested that the pressure in the system was too high and backed it down to about 17 psi. Well, the noises are still here.
My neighbor, a master plumber, suggested that we install a air removal device and replace the old expansion tank with a newer model with a bladder.
Can anybody else offer any advice? I hate to keep paying people to come over and take a shot at it.
I'm assuming its air in the system as it didn't do this at all before.
Also, some of my radiator bleeders don't allow the water to shoot out, it just drips. Could that be a source of my issue as well?
THanks for any and all advice to rid myself of this problem.
