Hi, I am going to get a gas engineer out as I have no hot water (runs hot/cold and the flame drops and goes out altogether whilst the water runs) but I'm curious about the pressure and thought I'd ask out of curiosity.
The boiler is a Potterton Performa 24. I only moved here in May, the previous owner said family serviced it so I had it serviced as a matter of priority and was told it looked very clean and in good condition.
After I had a radiator off in a bedroom for DIY, I added water to the system bringing the pressure up to about 1.5 bar. But I noticed after that that if the heating was on for longer than 15 mins or so the pressure steadily increases until it's in the "red" and over 3 bar. The boiler seems to kick in and off again whenever it's supposed to be heating. The radaitors do get hot fairly quickly though.
Is this right?
