i posted this question yesterday and got some advice about wat to do, but i ahd no idea what any of it meant, so i someone can look at the picture sand tell me what to do. thatd be great :)me and my mum rent our house and it has a worcester 28i junior boilerits always had the same problem
Firstly the boiler pressure is too high when cold, it should be 1 bar. If you can get it lowered to this fire up the boiler and watch the pressure gauge rise. It should rise gradually to no more the 2.5 bar and around 2 would be more normal depending on the size of the system.If it rises rapidly and or exceeds 2.5 then the likely hood its the expansion either needs to be repressurised or replaced. Do you have the copy of the landlords inspection certificate(I am assuming you are UK) as you should have and the landlord is obliged by law to ensure your boiler is safe to use and must be inspected and serviced annually and a certificate issued, one copy to tenant and one to landlord.
if the pressure rises that much when its on, it must be a blown expansion tank. get them to have a good look at it.
