    Position of boiler flue in relation to velux window, advice pleas

    Hello Riley, When I was describing the possible `nuisance factor` of the Plumes from Condensing Boilers in that message to Member Debra I was not particularly alluding to Her Boiler Flue. I was just trying to explain that even with Manufacturers Instructions / their specified `Minimum...

    Position of boiler flue in relation to velux window, advice pleas

    Hello Debra, Thanks for posting the additional photos although I would still have liked to see the area directly below the Boiler Flue at ground level - your garden / paved area or other ? I hope that You will not be irritated by these further questions: When you mentioned `the extension` in...

    Position of boiler flue in relation to velux window, advice pleas

    Hello scott_d / Debra Beagle, I am not trying to argue that Gas Safety / the safety of the OP`s neighbours is not the most important factor in cases such as this but I agree with Scott`s point. When a Gas Boiler is installed correctly regarding the location of the Flue / where the Flue /...

    Training to fit smart meters (met 1)

With practical...

    Rate my business plan

    Time for a new hot water cylinder? (foam cracks and bulges)

    Hello Rob, I know that You have just missed this when writing your `Guide` to replacing an Immersion Heater - I am not `being funny towards You` - but just in case the OP does exactly what you wrote: As the OP`s Immersion Heaters are on the side of the Cylinder He will need to drain off more...
