Low Boiler Pressure

Low boiler pressure is one of the most common boiler problems we see in Kent. Your boiler’s pressure should normally sit between 1.0 and 1.5 bar. If it drops below this range, your boiler may shut down or struggle to heat your home effectively. Common reasons include recent radiator bleeding, minor leaks, or faulty pressure relief valves.

High Boiler Pressure

High boiler pressure (above 2.5 bar) can also cause problems, including leaks, system strain, and potential boiler shutdowns. Overfilling the system, faulty expansion vessels, or pressure release valve failures can all lead to rising pressure. High pressure should be dealt with quickly to avoid long-term damage.

Common Causes of Boiler Pressure Problems

• Water leaks in the system
• Recently bled radiators without topping up pressure
• Faulty expansion vessels
• Broken pressure relief valves
• Boiler filling loop left open

Simple Checks for Kent Homeowners

• Check the boiler pressure gauge on the front display
• Inspect for visible leaks near radiators, pipework, or boiler
• Ensure filling loops are fully closed after topping up pressure
• Only top up pressure if you feel confident doing so
