    Hi All

    I nipped off to the shops this evening, the boiler was timed to fire up and while I was gone this goddam storm knocked the power off. Boiler not heating the rads now. So should I bleed it or will the reset do the trick? I would try that but its almost midnight now and I aint going out there till tomorrow!

    If the power outage caused a problem it's with a component that is electric like a fuse or control box bleeding won't help

    If it was running during the power cut and had a necessary pump over run fitted, it may have tripped the high limit stat which might need resetting.
    Also check that all your trip switches are on.
