  If your radiators are old and inefficient, you may be considering replacing them with a new boiler. However, there are a few things to consider before making this decision. Cost: Replacing your radiators can be expensive, particularly if you have more than one. If you're only replacing one or two, it might be more cost-effective to simply replace the boiler. Energy efficiency: New boilers are much more energy efficient than older models, so you'll save money on your energy bills if you replace your radiators with a new boiler.

If the bar is around 0.5 or below, this is commonly an indication of a water leak. If it falls below 0.4, the boiler may freeze up and refuse to restart. The combi heating system is overfilled if the indication bar is very high (as high as 2.75). Low-Pressure Solution Look for the filled loop (usually underneath the boiler). Anticlockwise turn the little tap. The pressure in the boiler should begin to rise. When the pressure hits 1.5 bar, turn the tap back clockwise. A High-Pressure S...

Get quotes from several boiler installation firms. Often, homeowners forget to do this one critical step before they actually have work done on their house. If you are new to the location of your property or simply don't know very many companies that install boilers, then it is best to ask friends and family for the names of contractors who have recently completed work on properties like yours.
