Why is my Weil McLain boiler making noises?
Insufficient water pressure will prevent the boiler from creating enough hot water to adequately heat your home. Adding make-up water will solve it, but the goal is to determine the cause of low pressure in the system. An early clue of low water pressure, besides insufficient heat, is the boiler making popping and/or rattling noises.
