combi boilers

[teri-anne]

can i enclose or suround a combi

Ours is in what was the hot cylinder cupboard.Its been OK for the last 9 years.Main requirement is to have accessibility for maintenance,and flue outlet to outside with complete sealing inside to ensure no CO escape.

ian is spot on you can enclose any room-sealed appliance as long as you have left adequate access for maintenance

as said before the main requirement is going to be good access for the poor souls like me who have to come along and try to service and mend them, if we spend an hr dismantling your lovely cupboard to get at the boiler then its going on your bill!
we had one prat recently who had not only fully boxed in the boiler with only a small aperture left to use the control panel but shed also tiled all over the boxing, we had to dismantle the whole lot.

you will find that many of the boiler manufacturers state the minimum clearances required in the installation instructions.
