Some noises are common, you don't need to worry about these. But if the noise is very loud and it has a grinding noise to it, get it checked out. Noises may be like symptoms in the human body- a warning that things are not working as well as they should and need some attention from a skilled professional. Best to get your system checked out if only for your peace of mind and to ensure that you are not storing up even bigger problems for later.Fans are often a cause for concern-they may need oil,adjusting or replacement. the noise is because of sudden expansion/contraction of metal, glass, etc. see, if u apply force on a table u have to increase it to a point where it starts to move and then u decrease it but that doesn't happen with inanimate. In the case of heat stresses it acts like u have released a spring(heat is increasing) and, u hear nothing if u release it slowly but it makes noise if u release it quickly from both the fingers at the same time; a sound something like poinggg. Now in the heating unit there is restriction to the movement so a stress builds up (be'cos metals expand on heating) up to the point where the restriction could no longer hold and is released, its then that u hear a sound like breaking of wood or striking of metals.

If a boa constrictor gets out of tank where would it most likely hide?

Are there any ways in which the central heating system model does not represent an electric circuit?
Because a central heating model does not have any electrons travelling through wires but have water. If a wire broke in a electric circuit , then if you're not going to turn off the circuit you would get electrecuted. In a central heating system, if it would break water will leak and nothing will hurt you or anything and you won't get electrecuted.
How to Save Money on Central Heating Costs?
Due to the rising costs of oil, most people are struggling to deal with their rising heating and cooling prices. While central heating prices are much higher than they have been in the past, there are plenty of ways to reduce your central heating costs. One of the best ways to reduce your central heating costs would be to get a new furnace. Old furnaces tend to have much lower efficiency than a new one does. Because of this, if you switch to a new furnace, your furnace will need to work much less to keep your home warm. This will then reduce your central heating costs.
