This is an invaluable resource.Thxs to all. My problem:excessive noise with baseboards(water sounds etc) Had Spirovent installed but blew air out for 5minutes upon each fire up. Called manuf asked if old vent, scoop with removed..no so had it removed..still noise..tech discovered temp was 230..said making steam..lowered to 180..noise much less in baseboards(tolerable, no water just expansion) but have now have knocking noise within boiler during boiling period. knocks can be heard up through pipes. tech said maybe lime deposits that formed over years and really can not be removed. But never noticed before when dealing with baseboard noises etc. Boiler was always quiet. Any thoughts suggestions extremely appreciated..thxs
