After receiving some incredibly high quotes for replacing the boiler, in a different position, and having established ftom the FAQ, and from the H&S website that it isn't illegal, I'm going to fit my own new combi boiler. I'm sure I'd have no trouble fitting an Ariston Micro (Non-condensing). I haven't examined others, but imagine most standard combis such as Bosch Worcester are similar to fit. True?
Is a condensing boiler significantly more tricky to fit? If so, how? Is there additional specialist equipment that I'd need? How big & intrusive is the plume from a condensing boiler? I've never seen one in action. I will fit it as close as allowed to eaves level (first floor), so that should help keep the plume at bay.
Thanks
Tony
