I have recently purchased a house with a new combi boiler installed, I have noticed that I am constantly having to vent the system. I appreciate that from time to time the system will build up some air but never to this extent. Can someone please tell me what to look for on the system before I pay for someone to point out the obvious.
gotta agree with expert here... defianantly bolox george!! temp doesnt make a difference.. you make have a leak somewhere mate that would be drawing air into your system..or plastic pipes that can also draw air thru them..it is ideal to use multi layer pipe when doing a hydronic system..

thats bolox ...... no matter what temp it wont stop the bulid up of air....when you next vent rads put a lit match to it and see if its lights.. if so its hydrogen..if not you may have a leak somewhere
