RE: Boiler Locations

[Scott Crowther <scrowther@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm also not a CORGI installer, but believe that newer boilers need less
ventilation, so can be fitted into cupboards much more easily.

I'd advise asking an installer.

I assume so, that's where I want to put mine when I extend our place.

That's where my new one is, although it's a worktop to ceiling cupboard. At
my last house the boiler was mounted into a 'false' kitchen wall unit with
a
door to match the rest.

I think that's fine too, my old boiler was a floor standing unit in the
utility room.

I was told I needed "compartment ventilation" for putting it
inside a
cupboard - the hit-n-miss type vents would be acceptable for this.

Disclaimer: I'm not a CORGI fitter, this is just the advice I got when my
boiler was replaced earlier this year.
