Benefits of Condensing Boilers/3

There are several important points which need to be noted:

• Homeowners are responsible for ensuring their heating complies with Building Regulations, if fitting a new gas boiler check that the installer is CORGI* (or in the case of oil, OFTEC*) registered your local authority must be told when you have a new or replacement boiler fitted make sure that your installer does this for you and provides you with a certificate to confirm that the new boilers conform to building regulations.

• Keep this certificate safe as you will need the document when you come to sell your home.

• There are exceptional circumstances (for example where it is not practical or economic) when your installer will be able to legally fit a non-condensing boiler and can provide the required ‘exception certificate’.
