Possible to use existing (CF) Flue for new Boiler

[snrweb]

Hi everyone

I have an old Myson Apollo wall-mounted boiler which is nearing the end of its life and I don't want to trust it for another (never ending) winter!

Its air source is the kitchen itself with vents in the door.

My question is if it is possible to replace with a new Boiler that is in the same place (internal wall in kitchen) and utilising the existing flue as it is not possible to move to an external wall. Preferably with an independant air source.

It is nowhere near an external drain so i assuming that counts out Condensing Boilers but can you buy any other?

Over to you plumb-gods! Any advice much appreciated.

He means no you can't use the old flue.
