Heating experts are warning homeowners to not ignore the worrying noises coming from their radiator or boiler as it could be costing you in energy bills.
Hearing noises from the boiler and radiators whilst in bed at night can be daunting and you may be worried that you could end up with thousands of pounds of repair bills.
Due to this, Jess Steele - heating technology expert at designer radiator specialists BestHeating - has revealed what these worrying sounds may mean and how to fix them.
One of the most common radiator noises is gurgling which could be a sign that you need to sort out your maintenance schedule.
Jess explains that this is a simple issue to fix: "A gurgling sound indicates trapped air that is desperate to escape - having built up over time. It also means there are cold spots on the radiator, and the solution to this is to bleed your radiators.
"This is likely to have happened due to a lack of maintenance - radiators must be bled at least once a year to work efficiently during the winter months. Take the time to loosen the valves with a bleed key to release the air and get rid of the noise to make radiators warmer and more cost-effective."
Jess says: "A banging noise is better known as ‘kettling’, which refers to a buildup of limescale within the central heating system rather than the radiators. It is recommended you turn off your heating system and drain the radiators to allow trapped air and water to escape, allowing the issue to be fixed temporarily.
"If the banging persists, then a heating system power flush could be needed sooner rather than later.
"This will remove all grime and limescale from the boiler and increase the efficiency of your heating. Areas with hard water are more likely to experience this

If you are aiming to win your Oscar pool you may feel relatively safe right about now predicting, as most are, a sweep by Oppenheimer, especially after its overwhelming showing last week winning 7 BAFTA awards, the DGA honor for Christopher Nolan the week before that, and on Saturday sweeping 3 of the 5 movie awards at SAG and winning top prize at PGA last night. However key to actually winning your pool will not be those marquee feature film categories but rather the three for shorts that run under the radar, but can spell the difference in triumphing over all others in whatever pool you enter. So who could – or should for these purposes – prevail in the Documentary, Animated, and Live Action shorts contests this year?
