How to increase boiler pressure

[Clueless]

Will do. It's been at around 1 bar for a few weeks so hopefully there will be no loss.
Thanks for all your help guys

Hi again.

One more question...

Now I've set the heating to come on for 3 hours twice a day, I've noticed quite a loud whining noise from the boiler when the heating is running.

It occurs every 4-5 minutes and the whine sounds for about 2-4 seconds.

Should I get an engineer out?

Its difficult to be certain but my money would be on the fan. Run it for a while often the noise will go away calling an engineer will be expensive as they might start throwing new parts at it. Have you had it serviced recently if not do it do it that way.

Funnily enough the noise seemed to disappear after I wrote that post.
The heating had been on about for just over an hour.

No it hasn't been serviced recently. I think it is a brand new boiler (we were told by estate agent).
There is no installation record or engineer name or anything.

I'll phone Ferolli and hope for the best.

Update.... phoned Ferroli. Manual commission sheet has not been filled in nor signed off at the back, so they don't want to know until original installer has provided proof of commission.
Phoned estate agents to try get in touch with the seller, but after past issues, they never got back in touch, so I'm not confident they will on this occasion.

First home, just moved in and sounds like the paperwork hasn`t been completed at all, thinking I would have the wife/girlfriend/partner call gas safe for a free inspection of the whole installation.

Totally agree with #rpm above. Time to ring Gas Safe and complain that there is no benchmark paperwork supplied as is per regulations & therefore you are unable to ascertain whether or not the appliance has been commissioned to manufactures instructions, safe to use & signed off plus the fact that your warranty is void so manufacturer are unwilling to help. Then ask for a free inspection of the installation.

You can also perform a search on the Gas Safe web site to check if your boiler is registered, by simply inputting your post code and house number. This will tell you who installed it & registered it as signed off & they will have to meet the inspector at your property free of charge and rectify any faults found.

Thanks for all your help and info guys.
I checked the GasSafe register and nothing comes up with my address.
I did find the gas safety check sheet that was undertaken in August this year and that all looks above board.
I'll ring GasSafe in the morning.
If all else fails I'm reluctantly prepared to skint myself on a better boiler. I've read that even with Ferroli warranty, they aren't the best at repairs.
