Hi,
I'm in the process of having my 19-year old Combi (Ideal Classic) replaced with a modern condensing combi (either Worcester or Glow Worm, not decided yet).
It's in a very small kitchen in a bungalow tucked in a corner mounted on the outside wall with the flue going straight out through the wall. Because of new regulations and because of the increased "plume" from the condensing boiler, the flue will be going out through the roof instead.
To create a bit more space, the installer has suggested that the boiler could be turned in the corner so it's mounted on an internal wall instead. from the "perspective" of the kitchen, this would be a better position altogether but the internal wall is only a single breezeblock wall covered with plasterboard..
So, my question is do you think I could be annoyed by vibrations from the boiler or pump with the wall acting like a sounding board - bearing in mind the living room is on the other side of the wall.
Thanks,
John.
