My boiler is in the attic. Getting into the attic involves a ladder, which is a pain.
Over the winter, the pressure in my heating system slowly drops (God knows why, but I am told that this is quite normal?). This ultimately causes a low pressure failure and the boiler turns off.
The first I know of this is that the heating gets colder and then we have no hot water. And then I have to go up into the attic and repreasurise the system. Or worse, as happened last week, I am away and my ladder-averse other half has to suffer without heating or hot water until I get back.
So, my question is, is it possible to install a pressure guage and repreassurisation loop (like this one) somewhere else in the system, in a more convenient location?
I'd rather get a sense check if the idea here, before calling a plumber to do it...
