It has been suggested that if the boiler is found not to be cause of pressure loss then it may be a leak somewhere unseen or under screed. One suggestion was to put perfume or dye into the rads but where would this be poured into in a combi system?
Our problem is if we dont keep the boiler calling for heat ( with thermostat turned down in hot weather) we lose pressure and have to keep topping it up. Our brand new WB boiler is in the attic and we are getting too old to get up there..it's a real nuisance as my husband just had a knee op. Worcester Bosch have isolated the valves so that during next week we will have hot water only to see if it still happens but to my amazement the WB guy expects us to turn the valves back on again ourselves??? Also when it was installed by an independent gas safe engineer last September it burst a few pipes as the pressure was too much for 70s copper pipes. We understand we must now live with threat of more burst pipes until the isolation check has been carried out. We already had one insurance claim for a naffed ceiling in the process of all this and I am wondering whether we will still be covered by insurance if more pipes burst. I wish we had kept the old but uneconomical boiler now )o:
