When the article states turn off the heating we mean the boiler and the pump.

when bleeding radiators do you need to turn the pump off aswell as the heating or is it ok to leave the pump on?
Thanks

The water supply pressure to a combi boiler is important, they all have water pressure minimum requirements as advised by the manufacturer. With lower water pressures the hot water flow rate is reduced. If the supply ceases there is no hot water.

If you investigate and discover that there has been no change in the water supply pressure you should call in an expert to review the operation of the boiler.

If you have previously taken out a British Gas Homecare agreement with appropriate cover you should call in an engineer. If you have not taken out one of these plans British Gas do offer a fixed price repair service – telephone 0808 178 2098 for your quotation.

I have model 35cdi on a few occasions I have had to press reset button and bleed radiators. BUT recently heating has been in OFF position and one morning i awoke to find reset flashing ,water pressure had dropped and digital reading was 23, I turned kitchen tap on and noticed pressure down then I pressed reset button everything appeared ok and later on in afternoon pressure gauge had risen back to previous day.. What I would like to know is the supply water pressure to the boiler an importaint factor OR is something faulty
Hope you can answer
Thanks GARRY

No, this is one of the tasks which can easily be done by the householder or one of their family who is comfortable with d.i.y.

Homecare deals with the more complex problems and gives you peace of mind with frequent safety and maintenance inspections.

Wish I had read the tip about having the old rag and small bowl ready before.

I did my own radiator 3 months ago and a lot of the water landed on the carpet creating a large stain.
