I've hung all the radiators, routed all the pipe work down to a nice spot in
the kitchen, now it's time to buy and install the gas combi boiler.
However, searching this newsgroup, I keep seeing stuff about boiler
installation being a job exclusively for expert CORGI registered
plumbers....? I was going to get a CORGI man in to connect the gas pipe to
the meter, but apart from that I was under the impression that I could do
everything else myself, including constructing a 22mm gas pipe from the
meter cupboard to the kitchen (without actually connecting it to the meter),
and fitting the flue through the outside wall.
What's the big deal? How could what I'm doing possibly be dangerous? A combi
boiler is a sealed unit with a specification sheet and fitting instructions.
In goes the mains water, 15mm gas pipe, and electric cable, and out goes the
hot water and feed/return central heating pipes.
If any of you could outline the dangers that I may possibly be blundering
into, I'd be very grateful.
If you seriously recommend I get a CORGI man in to do the whole boiler
installation, could you give me an estimate of how much this will cost?
Many thanks.
