Preventing carbon monoxide poisoning
Boilers that aren't properly installed, maintained or ventilated can produce carbon monoxide. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, drowsiness, nausea, breathlessness and stomach pains. Signs are hard to spot and can be confused with tiredness or a cold. Unfortunately, this silent killer can't be seen or smelt, so it really is important to make sure your boiler is serviced at least once a year.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Ideal Boiler Questions
Anywhere between 1.0 and 2.0 bar is ideal. The exact recommended pressure level will depend on the boiler manufacturer. When heating your home or having the hot tap on, the boiler pressure level will rise, but it should stay below the upper-pressure limit of 3 bar.
If your boiler is heating water but not your radiators, then the cause could be a faulty boiler pump or your central heating controls. Check that the thermostat or timer is working correctly as this may be the issue.
An F1 error code is a common problem and, the error code means that the pressure on your boiler pressure has fallen and that it needs to be increased before the system will run again.
Most newer boilers have sensors that will measure the pressure of the water in the system. If the pressure drops, the sensors kick in and display an error code and a red light may display on the board. This simply means the boiler is not firing correctly.
This is most likely cause is the comfort feature being active and this would be displayed on the screen with a c symbol. If you turn the hot water control all the way to 0 then back to your desired temperature, the c symbol will disappear.
One of the most common reasons for a lack of hot water is a boiler fault. Contact a GSR Engineer ASAP if your boiler is faulty. Other causes could be low or high water pressure, an interruption to the power supply, an issue with the timer or a piping issue.
