My boiler is losing pressure/radiators hot when running hot water!
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.54 PM
Hi, Firstly, I am having to re-pressurize the boiler every couple of hours (with no obvious signs of leaks) and also, when i run the hot water -the radiators get warm whether you want them too or not! (even when boiler is set to 'hot water only') I've had many,many parts replaced, including the pressure relief valve - and I'm questioning the pcb (as almost everything else was replaced!) At my wits end with this 8 year old alpha c27 boiler - need help! (or a new boiler!) Thanks, Jo
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi Joanna, you Dont need a new boiler just some attension.
Check that the pipe going through the wall under boiler to outside isnt leaking if it is it reqs a PRV and also the boiler reqs a divertor valve or service kit to sort out the hot water (rads getting hot issue)
Hope this helps
