I live in a town house and my combi boiler is located on the ground floor.
It is not a condenser and needs replacing.
As condensing boilers create much more visible steam I want to replace the boiler with one where a vertical flue can be taken straight up a dry riser to exit through the roof tiles. This would require a flue of around 24feet in length. Recently a gas fitter told me that this was far too long for a flue and that no boilers on the market were designed for such a long flue. Is this right? I am stuck in a difficult place, I need to replace the boiler, but if the flue stays in the same place this will annoy my neighbours; its not practical to move it to another location in the ground floor and too expensive and disruptive to move it to the loft.
Can anyone point me in the direction of boilers which would allow such a long flue?
