no hot water or heating, how to refill system?

[lucyloo]

I've looked earnestly through previous messages, so forgive me if this has been answered before. I tried to bleed my upstairs radiators as they were only halfway heated. all seemed fine (heard hissing of air, no water came out) until the following morning I now have no hot water or heating. I have am Ideal resonse 80 combi boiler, do i need to refill? How is this done?

You need to bleed radiators until water comes out. Perhaps you need to go around them again. Unless you have a sealed system the header tank should take care of the refilling unless the feed pipe from it has become blocked.

Ignore the last post.
Jobloggs is misguided


You do have a sealed system and a boiler that will not run without the required pressure in the system

look under the boiler for a flexible looking pipe with small "taps" at each end.
Open them slowly whilst watching the pressure gauge on the boiler(pull down flap on boiler gauge is bottom right hand side)
Fill the system until the gauge reaches 1 bar and it should start to work again.
If the rads still need bleeding you can now bleed them but will have to refill the system again.
This is the process you need to follow everytime you bleed any radiators.
