Our heating/hot water went down a couple of weeks ago – low pressure, so the boiler shut down. I repressurised, no problem, it happens from time to time. But then it happened again a week later, the gauge was down to zero. This time I noticed water dripping from the boiler. So clearly a leak in its innards.
British Gas (I have their Homecare policy) refused to come out as it isn't an emergency – we can still get hot water and heat by repressurising and coping with the leak. At what point it becomes an emergency I don't know. Perhaps when the leak gets so bad that it destroys the boiler electronics and/or forces me to shut water off at the mains.
A question to anyone who understands plumbing though.
I've got everything going except the kitchen radiator, which remains stubbornly cold, despite my having bled it and every other radiator in the house. Not a life-threatening problem, but annoying.
Any advice?
Robin.
