26/5/2021 · A combi boiler pressure gauge reading over the 1.5 mark whilst the heating is in full operation, is likely normal due to the water demand being placed on the boiler so it's likely nothing to worry about. In this instance, a reading between 1.5 – 2.5 bar can be considered normal. A consistent 3 – 4 bar, however, is something to raise with

Why does my boiler keep losing pressure? A boiler can naturally lose pressure over a long period of time due to air escaping the system. If this is the case then just follow the steps in the section below to repressurise your boiler. However, the most common

Why does my boiler pressure rise when the heating is on? When water is heated, it expands. As the boiler heats the water within the central heating system, the increased temperature causes the hot water to expand, this results in a pressure rise.

18/11/2020 · Why does my boiler keep losing pressure? If your boiler keeps losing pressure, there's most probably a leak somewhere in your central heating system, or in the pressure relief valve. Loss of pressure could also be caused by a faulty expansion vessel, an airlock in the system, or corroded pipes.

If the boiler pressure is below 1, that means low pressure. This could be because you've lost water from your heating system. If the pressure gauge goes above 2.75, that usually means it's too high. You may need to bleed a radiator or get an engineer to check for an underlying fault.

8/4/2021 · Pressure. If your boiler pressure is too high then this could result in the boiler leaking water, this is because the boiler needs to let out some of the excess pressure to avoid the unit imploding. You can tell if your boiler pressure is too high if the needle on the pressure gauge is pointing anywhere above 2 (generally speaking).

Boiler pressure is the balance of water and air in your central heating system; too much of one or the other will affect your boiler pressure. If you're suffering from low boiler pressure where the needle dips below the optimal 1.5bar level, we have covered that in our low boiler pressure blog.

Whichever pressure gauge your boiler may have, one thing is sure: the ideal pressure is between 1 and 2 bars, although on some models it may go as high as 2.5 when the heating is on. Of course, you should check your boiler's manual to find out exactly what the ideal pressure is for your make and model.
