    Yes, but the condensate water in the trap will evaporate in the summer months.

    Worth keeping in mind if you had no gully or other means of drainage. But if you were using a balanced flue I imagine foul odours should then vent back out thorough the flue air intake, although, it could still be an issue if it's near a window / door or a vent..

    Id try a different merchant,no way grant are bring up there prices 10 percent

    Interesting, I only just checked prices for a vortex a week or so ago with H.M. and Chad and neither mentioned anything about upcoming increases.
    I must double check with them as I was just about to submit a quotation.

    Got quote in on upgrade heating grant vortex, new cylinder and upgraded controls just under 7000 after grants 5800. Seems very expensive to me. In fairness does involve moving boiler to inside to make zoning easier. Does it seem reasonable quote ?

    How long is a piece of string...

    Without seeing the job and knowing exactly whats involved, materials required etc its a little hard to say.
    Something that may appear to be only a little different may have a huge difference in cost.
    You say you are getting a new cylinder.
    A bog standard insulated cylinder would be one price, an unvented stainless steel dual coil could easy be three times the price.

    I understand that alright, its standard cylinder dual coil which I'm assuming is stainless steel is extra if wanted. Will get another quote or 2 see if its ball park figure. I know cost roughly of cylinder and boiler to me it seems expensive but I'm not a plumber so don't understand amount of work involved.

    Oh dear, this is making me re-think everything.

    Oil boiler on the blink and was mulling over possible replacement cost - this post is like a cold shower on a hot day - don't have a couple of thousand - better gen up on my own set up and come back for advice on fault finding

    cheers

    Second quote in and was far better just under 4000 after grants and included stainless steel cylinder with second coil, which was dearer option on other quote again.
