Hi.
I am refitting my kitchen and there is a drafty vent next to my boiler. The boiler is a balanced flue type, my understanding of this is the air intake and exhaust gases are delivered through the same flue on the back of the boiler.
Old conventional boilers had a seperate system which relied on a vent near the boiler for air intake and had a seperate flue for expelling gases.
Is this correct? And getting round to my question, can I simply block up the old vent next to the boiler?
Any help would be appreciated!
