Boilers last a long, long time. I have one that is 49 years old. They do require regular maintenance. Banging could be caused by air getting in the pipes, which can be a simple fix.


Thanks - we have a boiler not a furnace.

I am looking for more info now.

We have a heater!


A heater? That might warm one room. Do you mean a heat pump?
