hi all getting my Gas Boiler fitted in my garage thatsat the end of the garden around 4 metre from the house…..is there any regulations or prpblems stopping me from doing so…thanks all
No. It's actualy preferred to install the unit outside of the house. Be aware that new boilers are very safe. You shouldn't have any problems!
With fuel prices as they are, you may want to consider an outdoor wood fired boiler. Just as safe, and the fuel is free if you own property.

I don't know of any regulations but best ask your installer or the local council,anyway it will waste a lot of energy and heat even with good insulation not to mention a strain on the pump

I think myself you may have a problem doing this. I would imagine with the gas pipe being outside for 4 metres I would think this will be very dangerous the gas pipe would have to go underground in a prescribed way and I shoub check with TRANSCO WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL GAS PIPEWORK IN THE UK

Do British Gas know you are doing this? I would get one of their guys round if I was you as if upon inspection of your meter they find it to be unsafe they will condemn it and cut it off.

It all has to do with local codes everything else is a guess. Sorry I thought we were talking about the US.

Hi,
I'm a Corgi registered installer (18 years experience), the only thing you need to make sure of, is that it's fitted to the manufacturers instructions.
May i start by saying do not get B.Gas involved, i am ex B.Gas, they will without a 'shadow of a doubt' clap their hands with glee at the profit they will make.
Local regulations are nothing to do with it either. The manufacturers instructions are gospel, and if that doesn't help CORGI can be used as a guide.
I would recommend that you have the services that will be running to your house be well lagged, in a duct,and a minimum of 18" deep, to avoid the gardening incident occurring.
(shovel/fork through pipe)
Have a frost thermostat and a pipe thermostat fitted to the boiler return pipe.to prevent it popping in winter.
If its a combi the minimum pipe size for the boiler would be 22mm from meter to boiler, however, 28mm pipe is recommended.
Boiler i would recommend would be a Vaillant condensing combi (most reliable boiler and great to work on)
I hope this helps
Steve
p.s. sorry if i sound a smart arse

You must consider the heat loss of being this distance away from your house, and this will increase the colder the weather gets. Pipe lagging is only good up to about -2 degrees, so anything over that, and your pipes can freeze up. To prevnt this happening , the only thing you can do in a cold winter is to run your boiler 24/7. But even in a mild spell the heat loss between your garage and your house will give you a bigger gas bill. to compensate for it.
