    Hi,

    Question, I am getting an extension done and looking to replace our existing 20 year old boiler with a new boiler and move it into another room to be built.

    Is there any rules and regulations about doing this?
    Do I need a certificate of compliance to have this work completed.

    Is there anything else I should be looking for out.

    (I've not decided on which boiler to get yet)
    Thanks

    Assuming it's a gas boiler, you'll need a registered gas installer to do it.

    They will issue a certificate of compliance when they're done.

    If the installer isn't registered, both they and you can get in legal trouble. And it will cause problems for you if you ever want to make a claim on home insurance or sell the house.

    You'll absolutely need an Rgi if it's gas. If your installing a new boiler, make sure the system is powerflushed beforehand.

    Thanks folks.

    From a noise level perspective what would be recommended - combi v condensing etc...
    The plan is to install the new boiler in a utility room beside our new main sitting room, along with the washing machine etc....One of concerns is the noise level generated from the boiler. Our current boiler is quite noisy, and part of the reason I am looking to get it relocated.

    No boiler should be noisy unless something is wrong with it. But new boilers are particularly quite
