Condensing boilers and pluming
Hi
I've just had installed a Worcester Bosch condensing boiler system (R29 HE). I understand that the pluming is common (inevitable?) with condensing boilers. There is a fair amount of pluming with the R29 HE. I've been told by a WB engineer that this will always occur (it'll be worse the colder it is) and indicates that the boiler is working well. The flue cannot be moved. Is there a way a way of lessening the visual (cosmetic) aspect of the pluming so that it doesn't look like a smoking chimney? I'm not suggesting that the emissions are lessened. I'm thinking, for example, of putting something around the flue. I understand that the emissions are more benign that conventional boilers (although, ironically, the pluming makes them seem otherwise). However, what sort of damage can the emissions do to a brick wall, double glazing, anything else? TIA Praful (Remove spam-spoiler "ABC" from email address) |
