Is your boiler making noise like an aeroplane? It’s a sound that’s hard to ignore and certainly alarming, a loud roaring or whooshing from your boiler that sounds like a jet engine preparing for takeoff. While your boiler is a complex piece of machinery, this particular noise often points to a specific and serious issue: excessive pressure. If you hear this, it’s crucial to turn off your boiler and call a professional immediately.
This loud noise is often a sign that your boiler’s internal pressure has become dangerously high. As a safety measure, the system is forcefully releasing this pressure, resulting in the “aeroplane” sound. In a recent case involving a Vaillant ecoFIT Pure 825, a technician diagnosed the problem as a failure of two critical components: the expansion vessel and the pressure relief valve (PRV). We can help you with these types of boiler problems as a leading boiler services company in London.
