Is fitting a new boiler in the cellar ok?

[Monzo]

I have an old tank for my hot water system, I'm wanting to have central heating and a combi installed. My options for placing the combi are pretty limited without it being in the way.

The gas pipe and electrics all come into the cellar. Would it be an option to install a new boiler in the cellar with these? There is a small window in the cellar so am presuming the flue pipe could go out that way?

Depends on flue best get a local gas safe engy out to see if it’s possible

Lots of iffs and buts in a cellar , but it maybe possible so dont write it off , as Shaun says get a GS guy round to give you advice

Your flue wont be able to go out of a window unless you brick the window up. Also is the window below ground level? Would the flue be coming out into an enclosed area as you cant have that either.

Im assuming it's a gas boiler as if its LPG then that cant be installed in a cellar.

A cellar can be quite a good spot for a boiler but you will need an experienced GSR installer to give you the run down. LPG is verboten as the gas is heavier than air and oxidises very easily at a rapid rate.

Fitting a boiler in a cellar is perfectly acceptable, providing all the regs are met regarding fluing, condensate discharge, frost protection and a whole host of other criteria. As previously mentioned you are best getting a local GSR engineer in to have a look & see if it can be done and to give you a quote.

As above acceptable as long as the regulations are all satisfied . Kop

I’ve been pondering fitting an invented cylinder in ours but I’m hesitant as it has flooded before. I assume they can all flood occasionally.

It’s also quite a damp environment which may well shorten the life of your be boiler. Ours is certainly wetter than a garage say.

Other consideration is warranty, if your chosen eng is happy to fit if email the customer services dept of the boiler maker and get it in writing they don’t consider it an issue. Never good to give them a way of weaselling out of a claim.
