Dear All,
there seem to be some threads on this, but all quite old.
We need a new boiler (combi boiler) and today an engineer was here to give us a quote. Boiler is in the kitchen, and in front of the kitchen is a conservatory. Because the flue situation is a bit complicated, the engineer suggested to install the boiler in the conservatory. We actually like the idea, because it would give us more space in the small kitchen.
However, only after the engineer left, I realised: Isn't there the rule that the conservatory is not allowed to be attached to the central heating system of the house? Would that rule be violated by installation of the boiler (but no radiators!)?
If the conservatory would be attached to the heating system of the house, then the whole conservatory would need to fulfil building regulations, right? Out of curiosity, suppose the boiler is installed there and it would violate the regs: What are the consequences of this? Fees, lawsuits, losing insurance, hard to sell,...?
Kind Regards,
Andre
