Finding the Root Cause: What's Causing Your Boiler's Low Pressure?
Several things can cause low boiler pressure. Some of the most common culprits include:
- Leaks in the System: Even small leaks in pipework, radiators, or the boiler itself can cause a gradual drop in pressure.
- Bleeding Radiators: While bleeding radiators is essential for removing trapped air, it can also lower the overall system pressure. Remember to re-pressurise the system afterwards.
- Faulty Pressure Relief Valve (PRV): A faulty PRV might be releasing water unnecessarily, leading to a pressure drop.
- Expansion Vessel Issues: The expansion vessel accommodates changes in water volume as it heats up. If it's damaged or not working correctly, it can affect the pressure.
- Automatic Air Vent Problems: These vents, designed to release air, can sometimes leak.
- Filling Loop Left Open: Accidentally leaving the filling loop open after repressurising can cause the pressure to rise and then drop erratically.

Boiler Repressurisation: The Correct Way
Before you call us, you can attempt repressurising your boiler yourself. However, it's crucial to do this correctly to avoid damaging your system. First, locate the filling loop – usually a flexible metal hose with valves at each end. Open both valves slowly to allow mains water to enter the system. Watch the pressure gauge and stop when it reaches around 1 to 1.5 bar. Then, close both valves tightly. If the pressure drops again quickly, it indicates a more serious problem that requires professional attention.
