many thanks for all your comments! ok, i'll try not to worry about the boiler... (difficult) thanks again!

Hi Tony, the bathroom fitter (plumber) set it to 1.6bar, not me. I will set it to 1.2bar when I go back to the house (yesterday I didn't have the time), but it's not really the level of pressure which worries me, but the change in pressure: in a week the pressure went up by 0.4bar despite the...

Well, I'm expecting a new born in a few days and with a baby any boiler problem is a major event. What I am afraid of is that when not a drop of hot water is generated and the pressure increases by 0.4b, then when I move in, start to use hot water properly and the heating system is full on too...

Well, I do think I have a problem: the pressure in the system continuously increases, despite heating system is off, and I have not run a drop of hot water for a week now. The pressure is getting worse, now it's at 2bar. Once again: pressure was set at 1.6bar, no change in pressure for 4 days...

Many thanks Elkato531! The fitters bled (vented?) the radiators, but I will do it again to see what happens. What I gather from your message is that this pressure increase isn't normal, so if bleeding the radiators won't help I should get a heating engineer around? Many thanks again for your...

I have a new combi boiler (Vaillant ecoTEC plus 832), 3 months old. It worked perfectly, until bathroom fitters installed a new radiator: The fitter refilled the system after installation of the new radiator and set the pressure at 1.6B. Heating is off, hot water was not run at all, he pressure...
