Is it dangerous to have high boiler pressure?

Is high boiler pressure dangerous? No, it’s not normally dangerous. The heating system is protected by a boiler pressure relief valve (PRV). This boiler pressure valve prevents damage by letting water escape – sometimes via a small pipe through the external wall near the boiler – when there’s too much pressure.
