Boiler House

Buford T Justice

Hi

A Client has bought a second hand boiler for one of his properties and wants me to install it. Not a problem, except for the fact that its an internal boiler, and it needs a boiler house.

Before I get down to it, I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a cheap and cheerful boiler house rather than going the road of bricks and mortar building a house for it

how about one of those wooden garden sheds?

I'd be concerned about it being a fire hazard with the flue out the side of it

I can't imagine the boiler is that big. Could you attach to an external wall and fit a hinged galvinised box around it? I can't imagine it would cost a whole lot to get a sheetmetal shop to knock one up. Less than time & materials to build a block structure in any case.

The one i seen the fitter had got a large insulated flue and fitted it through the wall,the boiler flue went out through this and was stayed off the wall by about 4 inches all the way up.By the way it was a pellet boiler with a hopper that was in the shed.

Beware burst pipes or boiler in winter if an indoor boiler is used outdoors and not insulated properly.

To save yourself grief down the road try ringing the manufactures tech line and see what their minimum requirements are, also if it's a second hand gas boiler i wouldn't touch it.

I don't deal with gas at all. Oil only.

I think i've managed to get an outdoor one though, lucky me
