Boiler losing pressure? Here's Who to Call
A boiler that repeatedly drops below its normal pressure range (usually 1–1.5 bar) will lock out and stop producing heat and hot water. The cause is often a leak somewhere in the system, a failed expansion vessel, or a passing pressure-relief valve. A heating engineer can trace the loss, re-pressurize the system, and fix the underlying fault so it holds.
