It can be installed in the airing cupboard in the centre of the house as long as the wall it is attached to is a good strength wall that can take the weight. There also needs to be a direct route for the exhaust flue. If it was fitted in an out-house it could also have the external controls fitted inside the main property and connected out to the outhouse(our surveyor will confirm how this is done).

I will shortly be contacting you for a quote to replace my old boiler, most probably with a combi condensing type.
This would allow removal of the hot water cylinder tank and cold water feed tank.
To help me to identify sites for a new combi type boiler could you please advise me if this has to be mounted on an outside wall or could it be placed in the airing cupboard in the centre of the house?
If located in an outhouse can controls be linked inside the house?

There are a few condensing combi boilers that would fit, the smallest being the Worcester junior range.

We cannot advise you of the full installation price as there are several outstanding questions regarding the installation to which we do not have the information.

Hi
I’m looking to have my combi boiler updated.
The present one is a Saunier Duval Thelia 623 and is fitted to an outside wall. However the dimensions of the present location are only 100 cm high (though there is clearance above)by 80 cm width with lots of clearance in front.Is there a condensing combi boiler that could fit that space and what would be the cost including installation?
Regards
Robert d’Angelo

On moving the boiler from the bedroom to a room with a flat roof you would have to ensure all required clearances are adhered to and hence this must be part of the installation inspection and plan.

The boiler cannot go into a shower room as a boiler has 240 volts passing through it and the damp atmosphere causes chaos with the printed circuit boards meaning the boiler would have a short operating life.

For exact details of the difference in flow rate you will need to contact the manufacturers direct.

Before you do this you should note that you cannot run a power shower off a combi boiler, the hot water demand of a power shower does not match the boiler production rate. Combi boilers deliver hot water at cold water mains pressure to a shower so you should not need the power shower pump.

I’m looking to extend our detached house to a four bedroom with one large bathroom. I currently have a myson orion 40B with a hot water tank. Installed is a pump activated power shower. There are three of us in the family and all have a shower every morning. While getting the extension i would like to fit a Baxi combi duo tec 40HE and have a separate shower in the bathroom. Do you think i would lose much power on the shower with the combi boiler, i know by the specifications it is 16 L/M flow rate @35 degrees.

The answer depends upon your current needs which may have changed since the boiler you mention was first installed.

If you live in a bungalow or a flat and have no loft space the typical replacement would be a combi boiler but that depends on the number of hot water taps you could have on simultaneously. The size of the boiler will be determined from a heat loss calculation for your home which cannot be done via an email.

What, in your opinion, would be a suitable replacement for my Range Powermax 155x ?
I live in a first floor flat.

Many thanks.
