Hoping someone can help.
My boiler is situated outside at the back of the house in an enclosure. Today had a guy come round to do the gas safety checks (he is gas safe registered). When inspecting the boiler he said there were high levels of carbon monoxide being emitted from the boiler/flu.
This is obviously is dangerous and he said it would cost 300-400 pounds to "clean and repair the boiler". He has given a warning/advice notice and stuck a label on the boiler saying it is unsafe for use. The boiler is an old style potterton tatler floor standing one which has always worked flawlessly.
My questions are these:
1) If the boiler is outside the home completely are cabon monoxide levels still an issue?
2) He is recommending the boiler be replaced as it will be expensive to repair. If nothing is wrong with the boiler as such then I assume his idea of repairing is essentially a boiler service which would hopefully bring the CO2 levels to an acceptable level. Would a general service boiler do the trick and should he be charging £300-400 for this?
Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
TD
