Hi,
I know this question has been asked elsewhere before, but I have a boiler issue that is driving me mad!
I live in a house that was built in the mid-70s. We had a new Worcester-Bosch Combi Boiler installed in October. From Day One it's been losing pressure, usually settling on around 0.8. I kept topping it up to 1.5, usually every 7-10 days.
However, it's since got a lot worse and this seems to have happened every time a plumber has gone near the boiler.
We keep getting told that we probably have a water leak somewhere and as it's not coming from upstairs it's more-than-likely underneath the floor, which is concrete and is nothing to worry about for the time being. However, I'm finding it strange that it keeps getting worse when a plumber does anything to it. It's now at a point that it goes to 0 every 1-2 days. We had Worcester out last week, and they couldn't find anything. He did say that if it got worse he could take the whole back off, but felt it was very unlikely to be the boiler.
The towel rail keeps needing to be bled, as it loses warmth but this hasn't worsened in tune with the boiler getting worse. I need to bleed this every 2 weeks or more. It hasn't become more frequent at all.
Any ideas? Are the plumbers right?
