Water hammer noise in pipes after new boiler installation — how to fix?

by AstraNL Community▲ 6262 views

Had a Vaillant ecoTEC installed 2 weeks ago. Now every time the hot tap closes I hear a loud bang in the pipes (water hammer). Is this something the installer must come back for free, or is it on me?

Water hammer after a new boiler install is almost always an installer issue — they should have fitted or re-pressurised the expansion tank and added hammer arrestors if needed. Call them back under their garantie (minimum 2 years in NL per consumer law). Do NOT try to diagnose it yourself with the boiler under warranty — you will void it. Reference: Burgerlijk Wetboek Boek 7 art. 17.
