I'm shortly having a combi boiler fitted (flue going straight up through roof). It will be located in the old cylinder cupboard of my bungalow simply because there is no other place to locate it (this being in the middle of the house). I qualify for free cavity wall and loft insualtion. When the loft insulation surveyor came yesterday to assess the house for cavity wall insualtion he told me the following:
The cupboard that the boiler is in will need vents as its not on a outside wall.
The boiler will need a vortex flue because as the cavity is being filled there is no where for the gas to escape to (if any problems with the boiler).
my plumber says the surveyor is talking rubbish as the new flue will be fan assisted. Has any one else heard of this or experianced this kind of problem? Know what the relevant regulations are?
Cheers for looking!
