Hello all,
My boiler is a fairly new installation (just under a year) and the pressure constantly drops at night after the central heating has been on. I only just re-pressurised the boiler last night to 1.4 bars and the boiler lost all of the pressure after being on for only a few hours during the evening.
The only leak that I can see is from a plastic pipe below the boiler that seems to lead outside which I’m pretty sure is the condensate pipe. Could this pipe be what’s causing the loss in pressure? Because I cannot see any other leaks.
I also would like to know if this thing is normal…
After re-pressuring the boiler and turning on the hot water moments ago, the boilers casing visibly expanded, which concerned me and I turned the water straight back off. Is this a normal part of operation as I have never seen the boilers casing physically expand with a thump.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don’t want to use my hot water right now.
