2. Where is safe to install a boiler

Where is safe to install a boiler?

You can have your boiler installed safely in most rooms, or even the loft. 

 

However, you do need to consider the building regulations for boiler installation. Your Gas Safe registered installer will be able to help you with this. They will also be able to survey your home, discuss your installation requirements and tell you the most convenient, safest place that complies with the Building Regulations.

 

Other considerations will need to be taken into account for boilers situated in bathrooms, whether the boiler uses LPG, and ensuring that there are suitable clearances around the boiler for it to work safely and for servicing.
