Do I need Building Regulation Consent to replace a central heating boiler or water heater?
A. If you are planning to install or replace an existing gas boiler you should have a condensing boiler fitted if it is reasonable to do so. It is recognised that non-condensing boilers are acceptable if it would be too difficult to install a condensing boiler in your home. Your installer will tell you whether your circumstances are too difficult. Work to install a new boiler (or a cooker that also supplies central heating – Aga, Raeburn etc) needs Building Regulations approval because of the safety issues and the need for energy efficiency.
