I'm not one of your tenants but you totally just helped me fix my boiler. So thank you! It's freezing here and things were about to get really really rubbish.
Hi, Your video just helped me to fix my boiler. I bleed one of the radiators today and since then my boiler did not ignite. You saved me tens of Quid and more importantly no freezing house anymore. Much appreciated. God bless you.
Drove home in the rain to find I couldn't get the boiler to work. Resigned myself to phoning relatives for the number a reputable heating engineer, and then had a brain wave to check on TH-cam first. I followed your instructions and I now have heat. From a very grateful viewer. Thank you.
I'm adding this to hopefully help somebody out: I have a more old-school unit that's not digital, but instead uses a gauge for the PSI. All the valves on my water pipes are open except one, which is what fills the boiler unit with water. I only needed to open this one valve and then watched the PSI rise to the appropriate level (50 PSI for my unit) and then closed the valve. The unit turned-on a few seconds later, likely circulating the added water, and then it shut off a moment later. This process was necessary since I had bled the radiators in the house when the cold weather hit. Again, I hope this helps someone (I'm not a plumber or anything of the sort, just sharing my experience)--thank you to the video creator, great video 👍🏻 cheers
Thanks for that ☺ Your video saved me waiting on my housing association sending someone out. I had to bleed my radiators as they were stone cold at the top and my pressure disappeared which I didnt expect 🙈 Your video saved the day ☺ Thanks x
I LOVE you guys! I wish I could 'like' this video more. You explained it so clearly, and it took me about 30 seconds to fix my boiler! Thank you SO much!!
Hi Anne; really glad it helped warm up your Sunday! If you have a couple of minutes to drop us a quick review on Google if you've been happy with the information you received that would be really appreciated!
Thanks I turned my central heating off at the wall first... And also I expected the needle on the pressure guage to carry on moving a while after but it didn't :) Ps im not a tennant tho I must say your tips n advice has just saved me from having no heating as its working fine now! Thanks
Ha, 2021 and this has just helped me. My boiler installer kept the filling loop behind the boxing and I saw 2 isolated pipes but didn't add 2 and 2 together. Why not keep the filling loop on permenently if the 2 pipes it connects to are isolated and will be when the filling loop isn't being used?
amazing, i just topped up the bar pressure following your instructions. i'll see when heating comes on in the morning, thanks for a simple video....can i just check that we need to do this when heating is off, isnt it?
Hi Sameer, hopefully it works for you. You dont need to switch the boiler / heating off to top up the pressure; just make sure you close the valve again once you're topped it up.
Thanks for posting this, I didn’t know what my pressure setting should be. My system has its adjustment loop way down low rather than up high which is a bit annoying as I have to pull out my washing machine and lean over the top to get to it.
Should I be concerend that the right valve on my boiler is very stiff and hard to turn? The left one is fine, I'm just a tiny bit conerned that if I can't close the right one then it'll over pressure by a lot.
Hi Bee Man; Normally there will just be one valve that allows to top up the pressure so not sure what the second valve might be. If ever you're unsure, we would always recommend contacting a suitably qualified heating engineer or the manufacturer before touching the boiler.
How fast should the pressure rise? It rose v fast on my system and someone said that’s a bad sign and indicates that the red water expansion tank is broken. Is this true?
Hi, I previously topped my boiler up with water with no problem but didn't know about the order of the taps to open the left one first. Now it doesn't fill up, but gives a machine gun noise and shakes. Also, some water went out of the flat (through a small pipe). Could it be like some air stuck in? Or do I just have to wait until the pressure completely goes to zero? Any ideas? Please help!! Thx.
Hi; I think that's probably one where you'd need to get a qualified heating engineer out as that doesnt sound quite right. You should only ever open the pressure valve, and opening this allows the pressure to increase so this shouldn't cause a decrease. If pressure is dropping / decreasing you may have a small leak somewhere in the heating system.
My Bolier just stopped working, no pressure on pressure dial. but I can't get it fixed as my landlord has cancelled the contract for the building that all the tenants live in. and landlord won't pay and refuses to contact any tenants. So I don't know what to do. the boiler i have is a Vokere compact 23 combi. does anyone know of a engineer that can sort or fix this on the cheap as l am very limited to money, due to my ill health.
I'm so nervous because I couldn't pay last year to get it fixed and it'll be cold again soon enough. After most of the baseboards were bleed the PSI was lower, I can't locate the filling loop and there's no dangling hose.. also there're about 6 flat handles around the boiler (none underneath). Please help me, I need to do it myself and don't know anyone here (also can't find the bleeder on the boiler although I heard it should be near the expansion tank).
Hi Cheryl; sorry to hear that. We cant give advice on specific boilers but it might be worth calling the manufacturer and see if they can help you? Hope you get sorted.
@@SugarhousePropertiesLeeds no problem the dude showed me before and he used a screwdriver to do it and I've jumped right in and done it and it seems to have worked 😂
My boiler suddenly isnt turning on today and the pressure is showing low. The A and B lights are flashing alternating to suggest it needs to be repressurised. I've tried what you've suggest but the gauge isnt budging 🥺
My pressure is low just above 0, I have done as shown on this video but still doesn’t seem to work, the pressure needle just moves slightly but doesn’t increase . Also when I switch the boiler on it makes a really loud noise like a giant kettle boiling. Any advice?
Hi James. That sounds like it might be a boiler fault rather than a pressure issue. I'd suggest giving the manufacturer a call first but it might be a job for a heating engineer.
hi i have a vaillant ecomax pro G10 boiler, i believe 2005, When stating up a little house next to a thermometre flashes along with a whooshing sound , this dose disappear after a time, ive tried to look up the symbles but to no avail. can you please help, No fault sign or code comes up
Hi Edd; Unfortunately we're not boiler engineers so we can't give advice on specific models. If you go to Vaillant's website you can download their user manuals for free and that might help you. Thanks
Great; happy to help Jordan! If youve enjoyed our videos then we'd love it if you could post a quick review / comment on Google for us. Have a great weekend
Thanks so much. Thought we might be without hot water for the christmas hols - or even more out of pocket! But followed your clear instructions and it worked a treat.
Sugarhouse Properties thanks for answering, I bleed the radiators almost 10 - 15 ltrs but the pressure remain on 2.5, how many litres more do I need to bleed?
@@tibet8210 Normally bleeding them once will restore the pressure and allow the system to function properly. If you've tried this then unfortunately there may be a fault (hard to say without seeing the boiler) so we d probably suggest you contact a qualified engineer and / or call the manufacturer. Hope you get sorted.
I have screws on mine. I opened the first screw valve then when I open the second one water started pissing out everywhere. Now I’m scared to try it again lol.
Sorry to hear that! You shouldn't ever need to unscrew any valves (and we definitely wouldn't recommend anyone not properly qualified doing that). Sounds like one for a gas engineer to be safe if you cant identify where the filling loop is. Hope you get sorted.
Hi Gabriel; bleeding the radiators will normally bring the pressure back down, but do double check there are no faults showing as over pressurising can cause issues. Thanks
