Good Evening All,
Context is baseboard gas heat in an old house with new boiler. Every time the second floor thermostat engages the heat there is a loud banging. We had it checked out and the gent said it was not worth bleeding the pipes as every register is throwing heat upstairs. The primary theory running is that there are pipes in the ceiling that are banging against wood beams. We cut into the ceiling, will post a pic, and are trying to figure out the best way to approach it. My friend put downward pressure on the pipe while it ran and it seemed to work, thus the picture of us testing the downward pressure theory. It didn't work though that night. This is definitely where the noise comes from though.![]()

Do you all have any other ideas on what it could be?
Thanks so much for your input.
Best,
Dave
