If the latest one was a condenser, how did you check the flue gases ?.


The key thing is to follow the manufacturer's instructions fully. If a
flue gas analysis isn't part of the detailed installation and
commissioning instructions, then it isn't. For these Viessmanns, it
wasn't.


I dunno why so many are frightened of doing a self install. Assuming they
already have half decent plumbing skills. It generally saves a great deal
of money - far more than most DIY tasks that take the same sort of time.

And, of course, with a system boiler it's a great deal simpler than at one
time. Mine took longer as the flow share valve was originally on the hot
water cylinder. On the opposite side of the room. And I changed from open
vented to sealed. Just swapping a like for like design, much easier.
