I released air from the bleed valves until some water showed up. There’s still some air in the system but I cannot bleed the rest of it out because I’m assuming that the water level is too low.

I think I’ll wait for a tech to come round at some point. I’ll figure it out from there!

Yeah I just read that and thought exactly the same! Thanks for the link!

Here’s the gauge on the boiler: https://i.imgur.com/foSmWKT.jpg

I think the issue is that we just renewed all the radiators this summer so there must’ve been some trapped air in the system which is why the pressure’s dropped since I’ve bled some of the radiators.

Unfortunately, the labor shortage is a thing where we live right now. Even my neighbours have been complaining about the waiting lists they’re on or the ridiculous amounts of money you need to be willing to fork out just to make it worthwhile.

I think I will wait and see if either a professional can come by or if someone we know knows how this stuff works can guide me. Last thing I want to do is have to wait 6 months for a new boiler to be delivered and installed just as winter’s coming round

Yeah this is my biggest concern right now with just using tap water because we have pretty hard water. We had a company redo all of the radiators in the house this summer and they said that they bled the entire system and refilled it, but I wasn’t around for all of that and I wish I knew what they did because I have no idea how they did it or if they brought their own water for the system.

We did. It’s a 2 month wait for us because of a shortage in workforce but a crazy amount of work.

According to my quick google searches, apparently this can be done by yourself so I thought I’d give it a go haha.

Question: if we have a low boiler pressure does that affect the heating in the house or will we be freezing for 2 months?
