When we moved into our house we had the old conventional boiler moved from the kitchen to the loft and changed to a combi.
Recently we've had a kitchen refit, and part of this was moving the old boiler pipes up into the ceiling space. Since this we have experienced no end of heating circulation problems!
I've drained the whole system and refilled, which worked for a few days perfectly then the whole of downstairs stopped working, upstairs radiators work perfectly still! I drained again and refilled..... same again!
The pipes that was moved up into the ceiling space were the flow and return from the old conventional boiler, so had a slight drop on them, now in the ceiling space they have no drop and just a loop. So could this be the cause of an airlock?
Any help much appreciated.... the Mrs thinks moving these pipes has nothing to do with it, yet it's been working fine for over a year
