Is it normal for a combi boiler to lose pressure?

Your combi boiler can be losing pressure for a number of reasons. Pressure loss may be caused from a leak in the pressure relief valve, an issue in the expansion vessel, air in your system, or a leak in the heating pipework itself.

Why does the pressure keep going down on my combi boiler?

A boiler that keeps losing pressure is therefore always cause for concern. There are two main problems that typically cause a loss of pressure – water escaping somewhere in the system or a failure of the expansion valve and resulting damage to the pressure relief valve.

How do you reset the pressure on a Viessmann boiler?

How do I increase my boiler pressure?

Locate the filling-loop and pressure gauge.
Check that you can see the pressure gauge whilst accessing the filling loop.
Turn off the boiler.
Turn both filling loop handles until they match the direction of the pipe – you should now hear water flowing.

What pressure should my Viessmann boiler be?

between 1 and 1.5 bar
The pressure of your combi boiler should be between 1 and 1.5 bar. If your pressure reads at less than 1 bar, it’s possible that you have lost water from the system via a leak.

Is it normal to top up boiler pressure?

It is normal for a heating system to be topped up once or twice a year. For example this could be done during your annual boiler service. If you are having to top up your pressure frequently then you should call an engineer.

How long does it take to repressurise a combi boiler?

How long does it take to re-pressurise a boiler? Depending on how low the pressure of your boiler is, you should allow water in through the valves for around 10 seconds. This should be enough water to get your combi boiler back up to pressure again. If it takes longer than this, you could have a leak in the system.

What should the pressure be on a combi boiler?

A combi boiler system should be installed as a pressurised system. However, if you have a conventional boiler system, you may have a self-filling water tank (usually located in the loft) which controls the pressure for you. The system works by heating up cold water in the hot water storage cylinder which feeds into your taps.

The pressure of your combi boiler should be between 1 and 1.5 bar. If your pressure reads at less than 1 bar, it’s possible that you have lost water from the system via a leak.
