Why is my boiler losing pressure?

Boiler pressure loss is one of the most common heating issues in West Midlands homes. Here's what causes it and how to fix it: **Common Causes:** 1. **System Leaks** - Check visible pipes, radiator valves, and connections for dripping water 2. **Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)** - May be releasing water if system pressure was too high 3. **Expansion Vessel Issues** - Internal bladder may have failed, causing pressure fluctuations 4. **Recent Radiator Bleeding** - Removing air also removes water from the system **Quick Fixes You Can Try:** - Check the pressure gauge (should be between 1-2 bar when cold) - Look for visible leaks around pipes and radiators - Top up via the filling loop if pressure is below 1 bar **When to Call a Gas Safe Engineer:** - Pressure drops rapidly or repeatedly - You find significant leaks - PRV keeps releasing water - Boiler shows error codes For homes in Wolverhampton, Walsall, and surrounding areas, our Gas Safe engineers can diagnose and fix pressure issues same-day.
