covering a boiler??

[windymill]

Hello,

We have a gas boiler in corner of the kitchen next to other wall units. We would like to cover it in as it has now yellowed with age, but does not need replacing. Can we put a cupboard wall unit over it to cover it up?
The only other problem if we can do this is that the top of the units wont line up as the electicity fuse box is above the existing ones so can't move them up any higher or the boiler down any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

You'll have to look at the Manufacturers Instructions for the boiler. That will tell you whether it can be boxed in with a unit or not.

you can put a fake cabinet round it, with no top or bottom, so it is well ventilated. It will need to come off for servicing, so make it so it lifts off easily.
