Do I need a bypass circuit for my central heating system?
carloshenderson asked:
British Gas just came round and replaced the valve in my heating system as it was getting stuck either on or off so not responding properly to the system controls - that seems to have fixed the issue.

However, they’ve recommended I get them to install a bypass circuit in the loft as there isn’t one there at the moment. They said without it the boiler can overheat, and therefore need resetting, as there is nowhere for the water to be pumped when the system shuts down but the pump keeps pumping for 5 minutes. They quoted £225 for the job - does anyone know if I actually need this?
Thanks for your help

Central Heaing System?
edmnike asked:
I have depleted the central heating system and drained off every radiator panels in the house..took them out and flushed cleaned them all…now I am ready to fit them back in place and refill the system. Mine is a combi boiler does not have a head tank in the loft but relying on the pressure gauge at the top of the boiler. My question is …What is the best way pf refilling the system? should I leave one of the radiator vent ***** off ..if so which one?…upstairs one or down stairs one? How do I keep an eye on the pressure gauge while watching the open vent radiator for over flow? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
