Our new house has the boiler in the living room. We don't like the noise it makes and it's quite ugly so I have been working out how to move it into a different room. I was planning to physically move the boiler and do the non-gas pipework myself. When I phoned a plumber to get a quote for the gas work involved I was told that because our boiler isn't condensing (it's a Potterton Suprima 50L) we couldn't move it as it would be classed as an installation and all new boilers installed after April 05 must be condensing.
I've been browsing the web and it looks like he's right. Does anyone know anything to the contrary? I know there are exceptions but I get the impression they only apply if there is something about the property which makes fitting a condensing boiler expensive. I don't think the fact that we already have a 2 year old working boiler and buying a new one would be expesive counts -am I right?
thanks for any advice Thomas
