How do I repressurise my Ideal Heating boiler?

To repressurise your Ideal boiler, locate the filling loop (usually found underneath the boiler with two blue valves), slowly open both valves while watching the pressure gauge, and close them once pressure reaches between 1 and 1.5 bar.

Why is my boiler losing pressure?

Common causes of pressure loss include air being released from a newly filled system, a slight leak in the system at joints or radiator valves, insufficient expansion capacity, or a component failure within the boiler. If you frequently need to repressurise your boiler, contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to identify and fix the underlying cause.

Why might I need larger radiators with a heat pump?

Heat pumps operate at lower flow temperatures (45-55°C) compared to gas boilers (70-80°C). To deliver the same amount of heat at these lower temperatures, you may need larger radiators with more surface area in some rooms. Your installer will assess whether your existing radiators are suitable or if upgrades are needed.

Why is my radiator cold at the bottom but hot at the top?

This usually indicates a buildup of sludge at the bottom of the radiator, which settles and blocks the flow of hot water. Unlike trapped air which affects the top, sludge sinks to the bottom. A power flush by a qualified heating engineer can remove the sludge. Installing a magnetic filter can help prevent future buildup.
