: This a question.
: I just bough a house that is about 25 years old. The baseboards ( water) make a lot of noise when the heat comes up. Does this mean the system needs bleeding or something else could be the problem. If bleeding is needed, how can i do this on my own?
: Help!!!
Clint: Is this just "ticking" noise as everything expands due to the heat, or does it sound like your system is full of BBs? If you have the "BB" noise, that's air circulating in your system. The air separator is supposed to get this air out automatically. Tony
