I would be grateful if anyone out there can help me solve a problem regarding a plume from my neighbours newly installed central heating boiler.
The condensing plume is about 6 inches from the centre of the party wall between the neighbours house and mine.
When there is only the slightest breeze the plume from the boiler travels past my windows and is very heavy at times, it also smells. It it like living on an industrial estate. I understand that the plume is harmless but even so it is very unsightly and prevents me from opening the windows now and again to let in some fresh air.
I have made enquiries with the main body who regulates gas fitters, it would appear that this is a common problem- I was told that the best thing was to keep my windows closed when the boiler is throwing out the steam etc.,
This seems totally unfair and one sided, my own central heating system has to conform with safety standards yet I have to put put up with this condense wafting past my windows.
Any suggestions would be welcome as I do not want to fall out with the neighbours and would welcome any advice from those in the know regarding current regulations. Thank you.
