    Hey peps, I have a Kedco wood pellet burner for about 7 years now and so far so good untill a few days ago. I noticed when I was cleaning out the ashes that they seemed a bit damp, when I looked at the back of the unit I noticed water dripping out of the unit, the leaking seems to be intensifying, I must stress that the leaking is coming from the unit and not the pipes or the pipe connections, who do I call, a plumber or the guy I get to service the boiler ?

    Still leaking however the leaking has slowed down, I'm just praying to get the next month out of it and then I can have a proper look at it. I was talking to a guy who services them and he seems to think its just a leak in the inflow pipe and that it is easy enough to fix with a welder.
    I don't have the money to get him out to fix it and he didn't seem to keen anyway, as I said I'm gonna have a look at it next month when I don't need it for heat

    Hope you get it sorted at a reasonable cost ;)
