Twin Flu

[JustInTime2021]

Hi

I have a ferroli optimax boiler which uses dual flu's that run above the ceiling about 8m to the outside wall with traps every so often. Relocating the boiler next to an outside wall isn't really possible without putting it in the living room.

I am potentially looking at replacing it due to it's age.

Are there many manufacturers doing dual flu's still, or are there alternative options.

Try Ideal, they bought out keston boilers who did twin flues.

Is an electric boiler a good alternative (I.e no flu required).

No, very costly to run unless you have a super insulated property.

No. Forget about those.

Choices are gas or a heatpump.

Vokera Vibe Max; actually any Vokera but the other models may be physically too big, the Vibe Max is a cupboard fit.

Vokera, Navien, Intergas, Keston, and I think Alpha too
