I just had two new Weil McClain Steam boilers install in my 2 Family home. Before the installation I had some steam hammering when the heat came on. With the new system I still have the hammering but it seems much more intense. Is there anything that can be done to fix this or make it not so intense?

Also now that I have the new systems the radiators sound like a bunch of whistling tea kettles when the system reaches max pressure. Do I just need to replace the release values on the radiators or is there something else I can do?
