During a recent combi boiler service in Hanley, we carried out checks on both the inlet gas pressure and the working gas pressure. These checks are a critical part of boiler servicing and help confirm the boiler is operating correctly and safely.
What Is Inlet and Working Gas Pressure?
Inlet gas pressure refers to the pressure of the gas supply entering the boiler from the mains. Working gas pressure is the pressure measured when the boiler is operating under load, such as when heating or hot water is running.
Both pressures must fall within specific ranges set by the boiler manufacturer. If the pressures are too high or too low, it can indicate problems with the gas supply or the boiler itself.
Why Gas Pressure Checks Are So Important
Incorrect gas pressure can cause a range of issues, including:
- Poor combustion
- Reduced boiler efficiency
- Hot water or heating performance problems
- Increased wear on internal components
- Potential safety concerns
By checking inlet and working pressure during a routine boiler service, potential problems can be identified early before they lead to breakdowns or unsafe operation.
Combi Boiler Service in Hanley
The customer booked Gasmaster for a routine combi boiler service to ensure their boiler was running safely and efficiently. Although the boiler appeared to be working normally, servicing allows important internal checks to be carried out that are not visible during day-to-day use.
Gas pressure testing is one of the most important checks carried out during any combi boiler service.
Gas Pressure Checks Carried Out by Gasmaster
As part of this boiler service in Hanley, Gasmaster carried out the following checks:
- Measured inlet gas pressure at the boiler
- Checked working gas pressure while the boiler was operating
- Compared readings against manufacturer specifications
- Inspected gas supply connections
- Confirmed safe and stable operation
All readings were found to be within the correct operating range, confirming the boiler was receiving the correct gas supply.
Testing After Servicing
Once the pressure checks were completed, further operational tests were carried out. Heating and hot water functions were tested to ensure stable performance and correct response.
The boiler was left operating safely, efficiently, and in line with manufacturer requirements.
