New gas boiler in greenhouse

[Clevedon]

Ive got a gas boiler which is currently housed in a cupboard in a bedroom which is old and needs replacing. I would like to site a new boiler outside and immediately below where the existing boiler is to minimise routing of piping which would mean it would be sited in our large,lean to greenhouse. I would want it in its own cabinet or cupboard within the greenhouse. Are there any issues in trying to do this?

PS id get the work done by British gas or a CORGI registered plumber

No you wouldn't

What make and model boiler?

British Gas not a good option then?

Havent decided on a specific bolier yet, it would have to cope with 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and central heating for a large 3 bedroom house with 3 reception rooms. Any you would reccommend?

As long as the Greenhouse was waterproof and the flue requirements are met then there shouldn't be a problem.

Doubt anyone will install it there -its going to be too hot, may not be able to comply with electrical regulations and how does the flue seal properly through the glass?

 

[Clevedon]

The temperature extremes were a concern to me. Ive got British Gas coming to have a look next week, it will be interesting to see what they say.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Sorry I didn't think about the temperatures (DOH!) That would depend on the appliances maximum ambient temerpature range.

this doesnt sound that promising, the alternative is to site it in the utlity room on the other side of the house which might mean a lot of new pipework (and rerouting the gas supply)

They are a good option if you want to pay 3 times the amount that you would pay for a Corgi registered gas engineer. Choose an engineer , check his credentials & get a guarantee, most boilers are guaranteed from between 3-5 years.

Don`t go with british gas, it will be a sub contractor fitting your boiler anyway

The survey would be worth a laugh though so let their sales gimp come round... if only to waste their time

Give bamber a ring...he is dead good with gas pressures and stuff

I'd considered that but it's in a bedroom in an extension with a very shallow roof so there might not be that much room. Fitting in the main loft might be an option though which wont be that much extra distance

I didn't need to..there was someone already giving the correct advice.
