I wonder if anyone could help please. I've got a problem with my gas fired central heating system which is in ahouse that is about 8 years old. About two years two of our radiators started to leak. One of them was a vertical one in the bathroom and one was a long single horizontal type. I got our plumber to replace them. A year later two other radiators in close proximity also started leaking and these were again replaced.
I've now discovered that two radiators are leaking again (one of these is in one that was replaced last year).
Our plumber suggested that it is probably a pin hole leak in the system and that he could run a leak selaer (oxipic?) through the system which would hopefully fix it.
Can anyone advise if they have had a similar experience and whether or not it worked?
On another point my gas bills for a 4 bed detached house seem high. We only use it for heating and cooking and the average bill would be €150 per month. (€100per month in summer and €200 per month in winter)
Neighbours have suggested replacing the boiler but I know this can cost anywhere between €2,000 - €3,000. Is there anyway I can find out what savings I could expect from a more efficient boiler.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
