Boilers are necessary to keep your home warm, but sometimes where they are placed in the home can make them really inconvenient. Whether you are completely renovating your home or you want to move your boiler to a location that is more convenient, this is a job that you will need a professional like this boiler installation Cheltenham based company https://www.hprservicesltd.com/cheltenham-boilers/ to do for you.
Before you move your boiler, you need to think of a place where you want to move it too. You can’t just put a boiler anywhere, as there are certain regulations that you need to be aware of to make sure that your boiler is in a place that is safe, but a heating engineer will be able to discuss this with you.
Some of the places where people might opt to move a boiler to include the bathroom, an airing cupboard, a utility room, the garage or the attic. Discuss this with the engineer and they will be able to advise you. Bear in mind that as well as the cost of moving the boiler, you may need to make alterations to the home to ensure that the position it is being moved to is suitable.
Many people also wonder if they can keep the same boiler when doing this or if they need to replace it. Although it is certainly possible to move a boiler and keep it, this is sometimes a good opportunity to get a new boiler installed. Obviously if you have a newish boiler that isn’t very old then you wouldn’t do this but if you have an older boiler and you plan to move it, it might be a good time to get a new one.
As well as the moving of the boiler itself, you will also need to bear in mind that the flue and the pipework also will need to be moved. The flue is the vent that removes the gases that are burned by the boiler outside of the home safely, so you also need to think about where a flue would be placed. Pipework also will of course need to be moved, and you will need to have more pipework added.
