Hi all I currently have a BBU behind a Radiant Gas fire in the front living room in my terraced house. I am planning on having a Combi installed, in order to do away with the BBU, and have an Inset gas flame effect fire fitted instead of the existing Radiant. My query is; where in the house is the best place to have the Combi installed? The only Domestic gas supply is into the front lounge which faces the street, with the gas meter in the corner nearest the window, and the aforementioned Radiant fire nearby. Would it be ok to pipe straight up from the lounge, into the bedroom above, and fit the combi there, in say, a cupboard built for this purpose? I know I would then need a flue -probably Room sealed/natural draught one. Also, would I be able to pipe directly from the meter, or would it need another route? I don`t want to be going unnecessarily over the house, routing gas pipes across it, so the direct upwards route seems the be the easiest option.
many thanks
Carolyn
