Hi I have a vokera option combi boiler...it generally works fine in the summer but when winter comes I have pressure problems. I keep having to top up the boiler. 2 years ago I ended up having the expansion chamber repressurized. Now the problems have started again. Now, knowing where the pressure gauge, is I topped up to 1.5 Mb, bled the radiators and ran the hot water for a while. The pressure gauge is now showing 2.5MB when the CH is running whereas this morning it grudegingling showed 2Mb, who knows what it will show tonight?
My questions are: should I attempt to repressurize the expansion chamber again myself or is this a job for a professional?
Do these boilers like to be running consistently i.e. is my intermittent use of CH to save money causing the problems?
Are these boilers very sensitive to water temp changes i.e when it gets warm one day and freezing the next, do they have problems maintaining the pressure?
thank you.
