Combi Boiler in the bedroom

[Booyaka]

Hello

Ive been thinking about moving my Combi boiler from my bedroom to the loft so will soon be looking for some quotes but im also thinking about keeping it in the bedroom. what are the regulations for keeping it in the bedroom plus the rules for boxing it in like a cupboard etc and in spacing needed underneath or sides or ventillation etc

many thanks

No problems leaving it in your bedroom so long as it is a room sealed one other wise it should not be in the bed anyway.

most modern combi's do not require compartmental ventilation. for boxing in but require room for servicing and maintenance all this information can be found in manufactures instructions. giving detailed clearences etc.

Most boiler nowadays dont need ventilation in cupboards but you will have to check manufacturers instructions . but most A rated boilers have above average noisy fans.
So you don`t want it in your bedroom, B rated are a lot quieter and in theory only 4% less efficent in reality prob less so not worth extra expense of moving
