high pressure, unvented, direct cylinder with a remote expansion vessel- servicing!

Am i right in thinking these should be serviced yearly? I have recently bought a flat and it looks like it hasn't been serviced since it was installed about 6 years ago.

If so what are the cost i should expect?

thanks

    most pressurised hot water system needs to be serviced once a year. Price depends where you live but should take under an hour.

    Does it have an anti corrosion anode fitted? If so it may need checking/replacing. Other than that,there probably isnt much else that needs doing.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
  • Hi how do i tell if it has one fitted?

    I can see why a gas boiler might need cleaning / servicing once a year, but what is the work scope for a pressurised system? No requirement listed in my system manual.:confused:

  • i think its something to do with the pressure build up- making sure it doesn't get dangerous.
  • Hi,

    I know i posted this ages ago but i never got round to servicing it. I have an anti - corrosion anode fitted , the light used to be orange but has now gone red. I assume this isn't good.

    Can anyone recommend someone to service it? I don't want to get ripped off.
