A lot of the causes for the boiler to be having drips or leaks will require an authorised boiler engineer to deal with them. Drips and leaks are often due to a broken pump seal or pressure valve. When it’s fixed, you may need to lower your boiler’s pressure, the boiler engineer will be able to advise you on this.

A loss of pressure in your boiler could be an indicator of a problem with your heating system itself. You can easily check out the pressure of the boiler by looking at the pressure gauge and ensuring that it’s over 1. If it’s not, then there’s a problem elsewhere inside of your heating system which really needs to be investigated by an authorised heating engineer.
6. Issues With The Thermostat
An incorrect thermostat might cause numerous problems, so it’s essential to establish a routine routine (at least once a quarter) to make sure that your thermostat is working as intended. It’s a simple test. You just simply begin by making certain the thermostat is in the proper position and has the correct setting and that your boiler switches off if you decrease the temperature level and then back on again if you raise the temperature level.
