    Baxi boiler pressure
    I have a Baxi 105he boiler installed in 2005.In the last month I noticed that I have to pressurise the boiler because it reads zero.
    When the heating is running the pressure builds up to 3bars.
    Can anyoe shed some light as to what might be happening?

    Many thanks

    The safety valve might have a small leak allowing the pressuer to drop over time.

    You need to check for leaks in all the pipe or the unit etc.

I have just bled out the radiators to my hot water boiler. When I got to the last radiator upstairs, nothing came out. A lot of air, then nothing. I checked the pressure on the boiler and it read about zero. I turned on the system and the pressure went up to about 18 psi, that's about where it...
