Trianco Heatmaker Intermittent Bang

Member Posts: 1
I've got a Triango Heatmarker Mark II. The good news is it functioning fine and is 20 years old. The other news is that is has developed a nasty habit of making a very loud bang at times. Obviously not is all well in the boiler, but it produces domestic hot water like a champ. And ideas why it would have a single, intermittent bang when in the mid to latter stages of regenerating hot water? Thanks for any insights.

99% sure that is an delayed ignition issue.
When was the last time it was cleaned and serviced?
I had one unit that I replaced that was doing that.
It was an LP gas unit too....
Parts are hard to find for them... They had their place.0 -
Needs to be pulled apart and cleaned, check igniter, may be weak igniter.0

If you ever need parts, I have a fair amount.0

Laars bought Heatmaker in 2000. They sold it under the Endurance brand after that. They may have kept selling Heatmakers in some markets, I have not seen a post 2000 heatmaker in the US.
That being said, I suspect your boiler is 28+ years old. I would not spend significant money repairing a heatmaker of that vintage. It is well past it's expected service life."If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"
