Why Low Water Pressure is an Issue?

Boiler pressure is a crucial factor to maintain the heating process of an HVAC system. The water pressure of a boiler should be optimised, so that heated water can be distributed evenly among the radiators in the home. Reduced boiler pressure can reduce the efficiency of the entire heating system. Here is why it can be a huge issue for the water heating systems and needs to be resolved immediately:

 

Why low water pressure is an issue?

 

Low pressure in the boiler can be due to the following reasons:

  • Leakage

Water may be leaking from the plumbing system or from the main boiling unit. This is causing a significant drop in the water pressure. Low pressure means the heated water distribution will be unequal in all the radiators.

 

  • Bleeding radiators

Radiators might release air from the water channels causing a reduction in the pressure inside. Air bleeds cannot be detected unless you bring in a professional heating engineer. Only a qualified and experienced engineer can find out these invisible leaks. Due to a lack of air pressure inside the radiator, the boiler might lose its pressure.

 

How to get rid of water pressure issues?

The best way to handle such issues is to bring in a professional heating engineer. Only a certified engineer can find out the prime reasons behind the significant drop in water pressure. He will also provide a permanent solution to the problem!

 

It will be also easier to detect and resolve the problems without causing too much downtime. Worry not! Call in an experienced engineer and get your boiler checked. He will investigate the entire HVAC system and will find out the specific reason behind the issue. Only a certified engineer will fix the problem using industry-standard solutions. The boiler system will be restored in no time and your HVAC system will regain its original efficiency.
