Checking the Boiler Pressure needle

Our boiler servicing in Reading includes checking that the system pressure is at the right level, this is between 1 bar to 2 bar of heating system pressure. On older weaker boiler and heating systems we recommend 1 bar of pressure when cold.

If you system has a small leak the pressure will fall to 0 bar and this can cause damage to you boiler and heating system. If your system is in good working condition and you have maybe taken the air out of the radiators (Also known as bleeding the radiator) you can set the system pressure to 1,5 bar. This ensures that your system is circulating hot water around the pipes and radiators in your home.

Our boiler servicing engineers in Reading will adjust and correct the level according to the manufacturer’s user instructions, usually between 1 and 2 bar. If you find you set the pressure correctly but it rises to 3 bar and over then the boiler and heating system is over pressurised and this can cause alot of damage. Best to give us a call quick.

Bleeding the radiators

Our boiler servicing specialists in Reading, recommend bleeding the radiators. This can help clear the pockets of air at the top of the radiator that prevent the radiator from heating up fully. Just remember if you have a combi boiler, to re-pressurise the boiler to 1 bar or 1.5 bar when cold after you released any air out of the radiators.

Balance the Radiators

With many boiler installations in Reading homes if you have a long distance from the boiler to some of the radiators. The radiators which are furthest away from the boiler you may find are cooler than those which are nearer to the boiler.

Balancing the radiators will provide more heat to the furtherest radiators by restricting the flow to the closest radiators. If your cental heating system needs the radiators balancing this can be part of boiler servicing in Reading homes and can help the system to heat more evenly throughout the home.

Check for Radiator Problems

If you find your radiators getting hot at the top but remaining cold at the bottom this is a common issue. We find the most common problem is Heating Sludge and rust. This is often due to debris and dirt amassing in your boiler system over time, before settling through out the system and at the bottom of the radiators.

You may also notice high gas bills as you heating water is contaminated and requires more gas to move the heat around the system. A regular boiler servicing in your Reading property could help avoid this, any we can recommend if your boiler, heating system needs
