I've had 3 new boiler quotes, 1 quote has suggested to place the combi in the Attic, reason for this is the current old combi is in the kitchen and the flue pipe extends way too far (against regulations) and their is really no place to bang a hole in for new shortened flue, British gas suggested to move the boiler near the celing joist in the kitchen extension, but from what I can see is if the boiler/flue is placed here that would leave about 1-2 yards of space directly to garden doors from living room and disturb my summer time beers/reading/sun with smoke pouring out! So attic makes sense to me, saves space for starters. I've had a look at the regs and I need a loft ladder installed, boards are already up there and rails.
Ok, if I go the Attic. How will he install the flue out the roof, I thought he would need scaffolding? Anyway that's not my issue. Also I am a little worried him drilling through the kitchen/bedroom celing who knows what problems he might run into. What about electrics? Do I need the boiler isolated or run connected to the switch under the stairs, problem is the board only has 8 switches full populated....anyway after this job I'm getting the house re-wired I suppsoe the Electrican can sort this out.
My general question is Attic new combi boiler- would you recommend?
