Hi,
My Potterton Heatmax Boiler is nearly 10 years old, but has been serviced regularly and the Pressure Release Valve was recently replaced. It frequently loses pressure throughout Winter, when the heating is in use. During Summer months, it's fine! All radiators are all heating up to HOT and there are no apparent leaks.
Any ideas what could be causing the pressure loss? Looking for resolution suggestions before replacing the boiler, as I'm reluctant to spend all that money when the underlying problem may not be fixed .
The rads are from the 80s and pipework was installed then. Not sure if that makes any difference.
Grateful for any advice you can offer.
Cheers
Lou
