Boilers in bedrooms: Everything you need to know

Boilers are typically found in the kitchens, utility rooms and lofts of your home. However, you can install a boiler in other areas of your home. The latest and greatest boilers come in smaller, more compact sizes meaning they can be hidden away in cupboards and wardrobes. Installing a boiler in your bedroom is very possible, especially if you’re struggling for space in your kitchen.

On the other hand, you may have just moved into a property that already has a boiler in a bedroom. While you’ll find out in this article that for the most part, having a boiler in a bedroom is safe, if you’re looking to move it to create additional space or lessen noise, Greenstar are here to help.

Read on to learn everything that you need to know about bedroom boiler installation and how Greenstar can help.

Are you allowed a boiler in your bedroom?

Yes – but be aware that (according to Gas Safety Regulations 1998 from the Health and Safety Executive) a room that is used for sleeping cannot have a gas boiler over 14kw unless the room is sealed. We recommend having your bedroom assessed beforehand. Greenstar’s Boiler Installation team can offer the advice you need, and we can evaluate your bedroom to best determine the right boiler for you.

Is it safe to have a boiler in your bedroom?

Understandably, you need to make sure that the boiler in your bedroom is safe. The biggest issue relates to carbon monoxide poisoning, and this can be monitored through a working carbon monoxide alarm. This will sound should it sense any harmful gas. Symptoms associated with carbon monoxide exposure are extremely minimal, and a working alarm will prevent any long-term exposure.

Through Greenstar’s Boiler Service, our Gas Safe registered heating engineers can keep your boiler fully operational, ensuring there are no leaks and that its running at its best.

Can you have a combi boiler in a bedroom?

Yes – combi boilers are ideal for bedrooms as part of smaller properties and flats consisting of one bathroom, and give out instantaneous hot water on demand.

What are the regulations for installing a boiler in a bedroom?

For a boiler to work in your bedroom, you will have to observe the following regulations:

  • There must be adequate space around the boiler for circulation purposes.
  • Your boiler needs air and must include a flue to deal with combustion.

Greenstar’s Expert Heating Installation team can assess your bedroom to ensure your boiler complies with these regulations.
