If your boiler is making rumbling, banging, or whistling noises — almost like a tea kettle coming to a boil — you're likely dealing with a problem called kettling. It happens when water flow through the heat exchanger is restricted or disrupted, causing localized overheating. The water in that restricted area can flash to steam, creating pressure pockets that collapse and produce those distinctive sounds.
Prevention for both boilers and tankless units is essentially the same: regular descaling and flushing (especially important in hard water areas like parts of the Hudson Valley), maintaining proper flow rates, and scheduling annual maintenance. Most tankless manufacturers recommend flushing with a vinegar solution at least once a year — or more often if you have very hard water — to keep the heat exchanger clear and prevent kettling before it starts.
If your boiler or tankless unit is making unusual noises, don't ignore it. Kettling that goes unaddressed can lead to heat exchanger damage, reduced efficiency, and costly repairs down the road. Give us a call and we'll diagnose the issue and get your system running quietly again.
Tankless (on-demand) water heaters use a similar principle to boilers — water passes through a heat exchanger where it's heated rapidly. Because of this shared design, tankless units can experience the same kettling issues:
