Hi,
Apologies if this concern has been addressed many times over but I have been reading and last topic was in 2010.
Basically I have a FER Falcon combi boiler but it is fitted in the bathroom, on a wall that hangs over the end of the bath. Last week the insufficient pressure on central heating light started flashing, with the heating turning on for a few seconds then cutting out. We have been without hot water and heating for a week and finally got man to come in.
As soon as he seen boiler he said it was illegal and cannot believe it is bathroom, he says that it has to be moved out of there asap, basically new boiler in kitchen that already has no space!
I have read that if we box it in securely it may be legaal to stay where it is so we could just try and fic=x fault (I still don't know what that is as he didn't even mention! I Have tried raising pressur ebar to 2 but that has not worked).
Wit our first child on the way in 6 weeks, we obviosuly need this sorted but the cost of a new boiler was not in our plans!
Any helpful advise would be greatly appreciated as I am really worried where we go from here and don't know if I need second opinion from someone else!
Thanks
Paul
