  • If you look at your boiler and notice the boiler light flashing, or a fault code displayed, you may need to re-pressurise and/or reset your boiler. Normal boiler pressure should be between about 1-2 bars. The ideal boiler pressure is often marked as a range in green on the gauge itself (red indicating the low and high boiler pressure zones).

    Simple Steps to Reset Your Boiler:-

    1) Refer to your boiler manual

    You should check your boilers manual, as it should tell you exactly where your reset button is located on your boiler. It should also have instructions on how to perform a reset, specifically for your model and make. The reset button normally has a flame or a cross on it, and should be clearly labelled “reset”.

    2) Push the reset button for 10 seconds

    Generally, you push the reset button and hold it down for 10 seconds. Do this only once. Wait for 2-3 minutes, as the boiler may be starting up. If the reset has been successful, then the flame will ignite in the boiler. The flashing light should also become a steady light, and the error code on the display may even no longer be present.

    3) Repeat x2

    If your boiler doesn’t restart, then you can repeat step 2 twice more. DO NOT repeatedly press the reset button, as this can damage the control panel, which would lead to a costly repair

    If you have tried to reset the boiler three times, and it still hasn’t restarted, then you probably have a fault with the boiler. Please contact the above number to diagnose any underlying faults

    4) Call Chislehurst heating & Plumbing emergency number: 07762660732
