Does a boiler have to be on an outside wall

Question

Starting to think about doing a kitchen remodel and would like to move our boiler out of the kitchen. Does it have to be installed on an outside wall? What are our options?

Tim · Answer

Preferably, but not compulsory.

Some boiler flues can be installed through roofs.

Wayne · Answer

Not necessarily but to keep costs to a minimum the location off an outside wall is always the best location. The flue can go directly out and also the condensation water . The boiler also needs a pressure relief pipe to go outside

Shaun · Answer

Can go on any wall - a lot are in cupboards upstairs just needs the flue to go through the ceiling into attic space and out the roof

Just costly to move the boiler and worth doing if wanted with a boiler replacement

Paul · Answer

No can use a vertical flue kit and exit out of a roof

Dan · Answer

No it doesn’t, as long as it is secure, you can buy flue extensions, but they are limited by the boilers KW rating
