"Is it a combi? Is the water pressure ok on it?" I was going to ask that, with my old boiler it was always the pressure, which was an easy fix. | |||

"Is it a combi? Is the water pressure ok on it? I was going to ask that, with my old boiler it was always the pressure, which was an easy fix. " Was the pressure. Wasnt told about the tap behind the wahing machine. Rleased some of the pressure and now seems fine, for now. Seems to be doing this every morning so heating doesnt even come on. Should I try releasing the pressure again before i go to bed? | |||

"My boiler is 30 plus years old. Solid as a rock! People are buying these new multipoint boilers which are temperamental, delicate, and unreliable!" Old school rules! I had an old one in one my last houses. Worked fine till the landlord upgraded with something futuristic that took about six months to figure out  | |||

It's their problem not yours. Too much or too little pressure can be an issue. Best to get a boiler person in so s/he can assess it and advise. | |||

" I'm no expert ..if you've released the pressure (I'm guessing it's the water pressure) then unless something is refilling the system it shouldn't be over pressured again. Any error codes ..most modern boilers display an error code for pressure faults. I'd call out an engineer | |||

Should I try releasing the pressure again before i go to bed? " If there is no pressure each morning then it means there is a leak somwhere in the heating system. You pressure it up each morning and boiler works but it is slowly losing water during the day so by next mornjng no presure again. Could be anything such as radaitor valves, preasure release valve, etc. | |||

The error that appaers on the display looks its telling me to f-off, that means war in my book.  | |||

You pressure it up each morning and boiler works but it is slowly losing water during the day so by next mornjng no presure again. Could be anything such as radaitor valves, preasure release valve, etc. " If the boiler needs repressurising each morning it could be a leak or more likely the pressure relief valve or expansion vessel is faulty. Repressurise the boiler to about 1.5 bar the turn on the heating if the pressure gauge goes up to 3 bar then it’s likely to be the expansion vessel Depending on the boiler it can be an easy replacement or boiler off the wall and a strip down job ... though you can always fit an external expansion vessel. Your boiler will have an pipe going from the pressure relief valve to the outside check where it comes out of the wall to see if any water is coming out of the pipe. If you are getting leakage from that pipe but no increase in pressure when the heating is on it’s a fault with that valve. | |||
