    Boiler working too hard equal high bills

    Appreciate the responses even though I am a tad confused still - spoke to my energy supplier they said if your losing pressure ~4bars must be a leak! Even though I cant smell anything and had other people in the house to verify that ... :?

    Boiler working too hard equal high bills

    Apologies in advance for crossing issues but it is probably related to my high ££. I realised last night that the boiler keeps on going on during the night and staying on for most of it. It was not heating thermostat driven so assuming water - but this doesnt seem normal right?

    Boiler working too hard equal high bills

    My gas bills seem very high so I am starting to record how much I use, I have reset the thermostats and relocated them. However - it seems the main reason could be loss of pressure which caused a total cut out of the boiler over the weekend. A valiant engineer came out to do a service and said I...
