Default balanced flue: worth it?

Hello,

Is it worth having a balanced flue? My boiler is in the kitchen next
to the door, so I cannot have a low level flue because it would be
within 600mm of the door. There is a chimney behind the boiler but the
grant "red" balanced flexi flue kit costs £600 plus vat. OTOH their
"orange" conventional flue kit costs just over £200: a third of the
cost. Is there any reason I have to have a balanced flue? Could I
stick with a conventional flue and save the cost?


Hi Stephen, I'm curious to know where the 600mm-from-the-door rule
comes from - see the thread on my own boiler situation.
