1️⃣ **Check the Pressure Gauge**: If your radiators have recently been bled or you notice damp spots indicating a leak, your boiler’s pressure might have dipped. Check that pressure gauge on the front of your boiler—if it’s below 1 bar, it needs attention!

2️⃣ **Repressurise the Boiler**: Most modern boilers feature a filling loop—a flexible silver hose. Follow these simple steps:
– Turn off the boiler and let it cool.
– Find the filling loop and ensure it’s securely attached.
– Open the valves slowly so they align with the pipe, listening for the water flow.
– Stop once the gauge reads between 1 and 1.5 bar.
– Power the boiler back up and hit reset.

🔧 **Call in the Experts**: Still unsure or spotting leaks? Don’t sweat it! Call a professional to ensure your boiler gets back in shape safely.
