I have a gas Furnace that causes banging in the walls when it kicks in sometimes. I cant determine if its a pipe o r something else. How do I determine what it causing the noise and how do I correct it???

It lasts for a bout 1 minute then stops... Is it air in the pipes??

Help

Mat,

Do you have hot water or steam heat? If hot water, review this thread and links and post back if you have other questions.

Mat,

Did you read the two previous posts on this that I provided links for? If so, what don't you understand? There is no point in me re-typing the exact same solution, until I know what part of the previous instructions you don't understand.

Please post back with specific questions, and I will try to give you additional information.

Do you have cast iron "stand-up" radiators or baseboard radiators?
