Hi, hope someone can give me advice?
I have the above listed boiler fitted in my kitchen but am just about to have major kitchen work done including building work and complete new kitchen. I was hoping to save money by refitting it but now having second thoughts after negative comments from my builder.
The new kitchen requires the boiler to be re-sited on the side-wall which adjoins neighbour (currently on end wall which is also outside wall at back of house), but builder concerned about age of boiler. Seems in great condition but I am thinking that maybe it is older than I first thought. Led to believe that it was about 7/8 years old but from looking at the Internet I think it could be 10 or more? Anyone know its potential age?
At first there was also concern about it being able to move position but later both builder and architect thought it was probably ok. I am now not so sure. Looks like it may need to be on end wall? Anyone know for sure if it can be switched?
Finally, it obviously isn't a condenser boiler so is this all academic? Will I need to fit one as building regs will require it to sign off? (A friend mentioned it was probable). I am looking at a false economy by trying to re-use it? I welcome your informed opinion!
Thanks to anyone who can advise.
