Hi all,
I went to check my boiler today, as I'm thinking of changing my thermostats, and noticed a puddle of water underneath it (photo with the big green circle mark up). It's leaking a water droplet every ~20-30 seconds. It's not the only issue that I've noticed in the last few months. There was an occasion where it errored with an E9 code but resetting it solved that. And then yesterday when I went to switch on the heating on the third floor (first time on the upper floors this year) it wouldn't go on. It was only when I boosted the 2nd floor that everything came on.
I have a feeling it's all linked to a pressure problem as the pressure valve is only showing 0.5 bar of pressure which is very low (see photo).
Do I need to call a plumber or is there something fairly simple that I can do. And is the leak going to put me at risk of an electric shock and should the boiler even be switched on with a leak? I moved in to the house a year ago and the sticker on the boiler shows that it hasn't been serviced in 5 years.
