Is Your Boiler Pressure Just Right for Your North East Home?
Keeping your boiler's pressure at the correct level is absolutely vital for your heating system to work efficiently and reliably, especially here in the North East where we rely on cosy homes. It's one of those things that often gets overlooked until something goes wrong, but maintaining the right pressure ensures your boiler isn't overworking itself or, conversely, struggling to circulate heat throughout your home. Getting the pressure right means you get consistent heating and hot water when you need it.

What Happens When Boiler Pressure Goes Wrong?
Boiler pressure that's too low or too high can lead to a whole host of problems. Low pressure means the water isn't circulating effectively, often resulting in radiators that are only warm at the bottom or simply not heating up properly. You might also find your boiler keeps cutting out. On the flip side, high pressure can put unnecessary strain on the internal components and pipework, potentially leading to leaks or even system damage over time. Neither situation is ideal, and both usually mean you’re not getting the full performance from your heating system.

Common Signs You Might Need a Pressure Check
How do you know if your boiler pressure is off? The most obvious sign is usually on the boiler's pressure gauge itself. This is typically a dial or a digital display. For most systems, the needle or reading should sit somewhere between 1 and 1.5 bar when the system is cold. If it's consistently dropping below 1, or creeping up much higher than 2 (especially when the heating is on), it's a good indicator that something isn't quite right. As mentioned, cold spots on radiators or the boiler switching off are other common clues.
Why Professional Pressure Adjustment is Best
While some modern boilers allow homeowners to top up pressure easily, understanding why the pressure is low or high in the first place often requires professional help. Our experienced, Gas Safe registered team serving the North East can accurately diagnose the underlying cause – whether it's a small leak in the system, a faulty component, or simply needing a refill after maintenance. We won't just adjust it; we’ll ensure we understand the root issue to provide a complete and reliable fix, giving you peace of mind.
Our Boiler Pressure Service in the North East
At Preferred Gas, we offer expert boiler pressure diagnostics and adjustment as part of our comprehensive boiler services right across the North East. When you call us out, our friendly team will carry out a thorough check of your system, including the boiler and pipework. We’ll accurately assess the pressure, safely adjust it back to the correct level, and investigate any potential reasons for the fluctuation. It’s a fundamental part of good boiler maintenance and something we do every day.
Ensuring Safety and Efficiency
Correct boiler pressure isn't just about comfort; it's also about safety and efficiency. A system running at the wrong pressure isn't working as it should, which can impact how much gas it uses. More importantly, issues causing pressure drops, like leaks, need addressing promptly to prevent damage. Our Gas Safe engineers have the knowledge and tools to carry out this work safely and effectively, ensuring your system is operating within safe parameters, providing reliable heating and hot water for your home.
