It is not clear what you mean but if you suspect that your boiler exhaust gases are being vented into the house ten this is a very serious matter. You should switch off the boiler and open the windows to let fresh air into the house. Also ensure that the other members of your household are not exposed to the gases.

Without delay get a CORGI registered plumber to visit the house and arrange to make repairs to the flue, they can also advise you on any actions you should take in the interim.

It could be low pressure, that certainly could be a reason why the filling loop cannot increase the pressure in the water system above 0.9 bar – but this may not be the only reason.

Our hot water has recently only been staying hot for a few minutes before going cold. I also regularly have to turn the tap on and off several times or put the heating on to get the hot water to start up at all.Could this be due to low pressure? The pressure is around 0.9 and i have tried to repressurise it but nothing happens when i turn the stop tap on the filling loop.

It is very difficult to diagnose central heating systems remotely, particularly on the limited information available. You do not advise whether the central heating is hotting up and hence we cannot ascertain whether it is a shower issue or a boiler issue.

If you have taken out an appropriate boiler service contract you should telephone the helpline number you have been provided with and an engineer will call to help remedy your problem. If you have not taken out any boiler service agreement Powergen and Homeserve have a heating repair service which could help. If you telephone them and explain your issue you will be provided with a no obligation fixed quote for fixing the problem.

Richard, Whilst you say you have had the PCB changed, the system checked and the element cleaned none of these seem to have cleared the problem. Call back the plumber who did this work, tell them they have not solved the problem and ask them to complete the job you have paid them for.

You will appreciate that we cannot solve plumbing and heating problems based on a few snippets of information within a web site comment.

I have an Ideal Response 120 Combi Boiler and the pressure is constantly at 3 (recommended to be between 1 and 2). This means that two or three times a week it does not fire and heat the water on demand. When it does fire I hear the ‘bang’ as the safety valve releases and it works ok for a few days. How do I reduce the pressure in the system and keep it down and what is causing the problem? Also, if the pressure is too high is this what is causing it not to fire? I have had the system checked, PCB replaced and the element cleaned.

It sounds that a valve is jammed as the water should stop pressurising the system once the pressure valve that you opened is once again closed.

If you have previously taken out a boiler service agreement with the appropriate level of cover we recommend you request a visit from an engineer who should be able to identify the cause and adjust / repair your system.

If you do not have an agreement, our featured companies do offer an ‘on demand / emergency repair service. Telephone now for a Quotation. No matter how big the problem the fixed price quoted includes all parts, labour and call out charges.

Hi. We have a Ideal response 120 combi-boiler whereby it has a visual pressure gauge. I had to re-pressurise the system a couple of days ago and ever since, it wont stop filling up and we have had water continuously pouring out of the overflow. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing the problem and what i should do to rectify it? Many thanks. Sean
