Boiler Fault.

[Jethro]

Any decent plumbers got any ideas, our combi boiler keeps losing pressure I have turned it up 4 times now today, I wouldn't mind but it was only serviced last month, when pressure goes it flashes E1 19 if that helps.

Hello mate have you a service plan ?
If so give the service team a ring
Or
leak in the pressure relief valve, an issue in the expansion vessel, air in your system, or a leak in the heating pipework itself either way I would give your engineer a bell..

You can only check rads and visible pipes and boiler for drips to guide you but as said might need an engineer out for checking further as said.

have you bled the air from the radiators?
bleed them before you top up, then when you top up, get it to about 2.5bar or whatever the recommended pressure is (a red arrow normally) and fire up the boiler, check it every five mins to see if it drops.
if it does, go around the house and check under all rads (and pipe drops) for damp patches on the carpet and check the downstairs ceilings for damp spots as there could be a small leak somewhere

In the extension I needed to bleed a radiator. The bleed nipple was on the rear of the radiator purely for Asthetics. But a nightmare.

Thanks lads, I think I will play safe and give them a bell as can't find any drips or damp spots, thanks to everyone who posted much appreciated.

Might be the blow off valve if its a combi

 

[cactikid]

Does your combo boiler have an outside drain --drip-drip-drip?

 

[Jethro]

No m8, the only other thing I have noticed is it seems to lose pressure when the heating tries to fire up, should know a bit more when I give them a call.

 

[cactikid]

Due to circumstances beyond my control i dumped my electric blankets last week as must have been 20+ years old.

 

[Jethro]

Where you dump them m8, I might need them myself.

 

[cactikid]

I had a mass clear out with 2 single mattresses ,a bed broken up and other electrical upto the recycling dump,container was nearly full so on its way somewhere.

Hi lads, just an update on boiler problem I have noticed the pipe outside is dripping regular, any ideas what's causing it ??.

Isn't that the over flow pipe maybe blocked some where from within the pipe or outside

 

[Jethro]

Yes? They are sending someone out Wednesday so hope he can fix it m8, thanks for replying m8.

It sounds like pressure valve and its getting too hot so it could be blowing excess water out

If not sorted did house blow up?
