Notes for anyone planning a similar job

  • Balanced flue models still need the right route for the flue terminal, so the room and outside wall position matter.
  • It helps to bring a photo of the wall and a few rough measurements when you visit the showroom.
  • Any gas installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Read more on the HSE gas safety pages: https://www.hse.gov.uk/gas/
