Why is my Worcester boiler pressure rising?
If the pressure gauge indicates high pressure as a result of over filling, you will need to bleed a radiator until the pressure gauge returns between 1 and 1.5 bar. If pressure rises by more than 1 bar when the heating is up to temperature then the expansion vessel may require repressurising.
Why did my Worcester 240 combi boiler go out?
The air pressure is on bar 1.5. On Saturday the pilot light went out. Not knowing anything about boilers I rang a corgi registered engineer. He had a look at the boiler put the pilot light back on and was ready to rush off. He didn’t even think it was worth charging me!!
When do you Know Your boiler pressure is too high?
Check the needle reading on your ever trusty boiler pressure gauge – if it’s reading over 1.5 bar (when the boiler is switched off), your boiler pressure is too high. If you’re having pressure-related issues on an all too regular basis, it may be time to consider a replacement. You’ll need to drain some water from the system.
Why is the pressure on my hot water heat exchanger too high?
However, as the pressure is increasing and you haven’t disturbed the filling loop, it does look like the domestic hot water heat exchanger is leaking into the central heating heat exchanger, unfortunately. The pressure release valve should lift at 3 bar and allow water to escape outside.
Why is the pressure gauge on my DHW too high?
As before – there isn’t (or shouldn’t be) any connection between the DHW and the central heating – its only the CH that uses the pressure gauge. So, water must be passing from the DHW into the CH side – due to a heat exchanger fault. Not recommended! I think I’d be giving the boiler repair men a call, really.
