Is the new circ pumping in the right direction?

Banging Pipes

I had the gas company put in a new circulator pump 3 days ago. The pipes are now making a banging noise. It is always in a different area of the house also. Any help is appreciated

maybe they introduced some air into the system when they put the pump in. Check the fast-fill and see if the can vent on the air scoop is working, as they tend to fail over time. Just a little bit of air can make things noisy.
