Install boiler in garage

Hi all

My mother in law currently has a coal fire with a back boiler thing. Some rooms have radiators - others don't and get pretty cold. She's getting on a bit now and we really worry about her going to the coal house and she's also about to start home based dialysis. We really want her to get GCH.

Problem is she's terrified of gas - no logical reason but she just won't entertain the idea. The house doesn't even have a gas connection although all houses around her do - it was a self build 40 years ago.

The house does have a detached garage so I'm thinking maybe we can persuade her to get the gas and boiler installed in the garage and run water pipes under the path between garage and house. Obviously this means she couldn't have a gas fire but doubt she'd want that anyway.

Does this sound feasible - is it possible to have the boiler is a physically separate building or is this going to be too much hassle?

Thank you.

Ian

yes it can be done but will be more expensive, depending on the house it may be possible to have a gas boiler installed in the house and the only gas pipework could be just straight through the wall from outside to the boiler, get some quotes from a local RGI

Andy ..... Double take mate ..... Lanarkshire and Lancashire are a quite far apart

Watch it agile is about with warning about advertising

I was looking forward to a wee break in Lancashire too

Just tell her that its nuclear and they don't run on gas anymore because its too dangerous.
