  • New Central Heating System-is it air?

    Recently had a full heating system put in, oil boiler, vented system, rads upstairs, UFH downstairs. System is losing pressure, plumbers have come back once and vented it and reset everything, a week later no pressure again. I have topped it up from filling loop, bled all rads. UFH is working fine. Can’t see any leaks, when I was filling up PRV was releasing air, but now I am stuck. Rads cold, slightly luke warm hot water, plumbers say air just needs to work its way through system. Any help to either push air quickly or get some heat into rads would be greatly appreciated

    Loft Header Tank

    Hi, My small loft header tank in the loft is overflowing when the hot water/heating is switched on. It’s fine when the heating/water are off, but starts up again when it comes on again. It started with a few drips a few weeks ago to a slow flow now, which lasts for about 10-15 minutes when the heating/water initially comes on and then stops dripping again. Any ideas?
