Having been told that my old WallFlame type oil boiler was likely to catch fire I've decided to get a new boiler installed. I guess 25 years service isn't too bad?
The boiler is actually located inside the garage in a sectioned off partition that is only accessible from the outside of the property.
The current boiler has a vertical flue that goes straight up and exits 2/3 from the top of the roof (exits vertically). It looks in good condition and seems to be about 8" wide (I can measure exactly if required but I guess it wouldn't change the principle of any advice given?).
I've select a Grant EuroFlame BoilerHouse 70/90 as the new boiler.
My question is what should I do about the flue? Since the current Flue seems in fairly good condition, is it normal to have a flue liner fitted and reuse it for the new boiler? If this isn't the best way to go, what do you recommend? Any tips/pointers on what I should have done would be very welcome.
Thanks
Toby
