Hi,
We're looking to replace our old Baxi 100 HE, one of the many reasons is the noise, at the moment its in a cupboard in the hall, that cupboard that has a solid wall backs onto the bedroom and it's noisy. yes we're light sleepers, at the moment we don't put it on timer to come on before we wake up as it will wake us up.
We live in a bungalow. one option is to move it into the loft away from the bedrooms, we've had a quote to leave it where it is or move it, to move it to the loft add £800.
I've looked at soundproofing boards but not sure they will stand the weight of the boiler, so maybe some battens 1.5" x 1.5" and a piece of 18mm board, possibly ply?
A new boiler should be quieter, they seem to be @ 50Db, as we have 2 bathrooms and lots of radiators we're looking at 33kw
Thought please.
Many Thanks
Steve
