The 6 most common faults

01
0.0 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has lost the correct water pressure needed to run, or it can no longer accurately read how much water is inside the system.

What to try first

Locate the filling loop (a silver flexi-hose) underneath the boiler.Open the valves on the loop to allow water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close the valves tightly and check for any leaks.

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Intergas shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
