    Baxi HE100 banging when starting up

    Hi, I had the above boiler installed about 2 years ago, for the last 6 months it has started banging for a few minutes when it starts up. It sounds like the central heating pipes are banging not the boiler itself. Any help would be appreciated in identifying the problem. Dave.
