Hi, we had our combi boiler moved approximately 1m away from where it previously was, into the new extension and when trying to start the boiler up, the engineer struggled to start it- instead, it just rumbled VERY loudly and he struggled with it for 2 days trying to get it to work.
After further checks, he's told us that the issue is due to low gas flow into the boiler, and that we need to fit 28mm thick copper piping from the mains gas inlet into the house to the boiler which could cost quite a bit.
A few months ago, we had the boiler replaced with a higher power model but the engineers didn't have to change the pipes and it worked perfectly fine, so would moving the boiler 1m further away from the gas supply really make the boiler not work and require new piping?
