Hello,
We're renovating our house which currently has no central heating system and because of its rural (non-mains-gas or suitable for LPG tank) position will be having an oil boiler installed.
Thanks to contributors on DIYnot I'm now aware of Building Regulations Part L and what appears to be Hobson's choice; "from April 2007, all oil-fired boilers installed in existing dwellings must be condensing boilers".
Is it as clear cut as that? We MUST install a condensing oil boiler, it's not going to be possible to pick up a non-condensing model second hand and ask our oil man to fit?
Thanks,
Steve
