What is this object above my boiler?

[hey14672]

It's responsible for circulating air around the vents in my apartment, though since it's above the boiler I'm unsure whether it is connected to the gas/heating/hot water as well.

The main issue is that it's extremely noisy and I want to shut it off. If it only serves the vents, then that won't be an issue since I can just open windows or something for ventilation. If it serves some gas or heating purpose as well, that'll complicate matters.

Yeah, me as well. Might be worth putting pics on the sparks forum as well. What make/model of boiler is it ?

Yeah, me as well. Might be worth putting pics on the sparks forum as well. What make/model of boiler is it ? And is it actually connected to the boiler/flue ?

Valiant Turbomax of some sort. Unfortunately I can't tell what's connected to what up there.

Just Googled this and it does look like the most promising candidate. Thanks!
