Hi,
I have a Potterton 24 he eco boiler and have noticed the pressure getting quite high when the heating is on.
When cold the pressure is set 1 bar. When the heating is on it rises to around 2.5 - 3 bar.
When the hot water is on it goes to 1.5 bar.
It is quite possible it has always done this.
My question is I have just had the boiler serviced?
I have spoken to the guy who serviced it and he said he noticed the pressure a bit below 1 so he topped it up and the reason the pressure was below 1 might be because the expansion tank isn't working and water is being released from the system.
Is the expansion tank something that they should check?
Are there any checks I can do?
Thanks
Paul
