**Tedious question alert** Where is your boiler?!

Hmm ours is pretty noisy when it fires up but it's not firing up in the middle of the night. Just first thing and then in the evening while we are up.iyswim

If you do end up going for it just make sure you get a bloody good carbon monoxide detector!

In answer to your original question though, ours is in the kitchen

In the kitchen! That's quite a random location in the bedroom - did it used to be part of an airing cupboard or something? I wouldn't have thought it would be too expenive to move it to another location.

Is it quite an old boiler?

Ours is in the kitchen, I'm not sure if want one in a bedroom. They're noisy and also the carbon monoxide risk of them.

Do you love the place other than that? Maybe find out how much it would cost to move it?

Did you view our house?! Our boiler is in my wardrobe in our bedroom. The person we bought the house off is a moron, it was another one of his "bright" ideas. I have little space in my wardrobe and the noise is annoying. I know for a fact it is going to really get on my nerves when l do night shifts. Mr Erin's Dad is going to move it for us in a few months.

In our kitchen. When you run hot water or turn the heating on it sounds like a bloody jet engine. It's awful. But it is very old!

I had a boiler in a cupboard in my old student house. It was brand new combi boiler type thing. It didn't bother me too much at all. You could hear it click on but only if you were listening for it. I got used to it I suppose. I did have a carbon monoxide alarm in the cupboard too!

Ours is in the kitchen, it is a little noisy and I wouldn't want it in the bedroom.

My parents had an oil fired boiler in their spare room. they had it moved to the out building over the summer. It was noisy and fairly smelly!

Ours is in the kitchen and whilst I don't notice it so much during the day at this time of night when I'm sitting at the table and the house is in silence I might as well be sat in the middle of the runway at Heathrow airport. The carbon monoxide would scare me too.

Ours is in the bathroom!

i viewed a house recently with boiler in bedroom and we were quoted about 1200 to have it moved this quote also include other work on the central heating system too

I grew up with a boiler in my bedroom, like mist noises you get used to it and don't hear it after a while. My student house backed onto a railway line and I soon learnt to sleep through that. Currently ours is in our utility room/conservatory

its a big job to move a boiler, can be very expensive depending in the pipe work in the house as an FYI.

Mine is in my spare room. Was like that when I moved in. I wouldn't have chosen that location but we've never slept in there so it really doesn't bother me.

If you like everything else about the house then it is something you could look at moving??

Ours is in the utility room. It's fairly quiet whilst running, but when it starts up its quite noisey for the first few minutes! Our house is a new build so you would have thought it would be quiet!

Mine was "hidden" in the kitchen, in a pantry at my old house. Was really quiet.

In our flat it was originally in the kitchen but that was in the middle of the building and when it was replaced with a combi boiler it had to go on an outside wall so was in my living room!!! We just boxed it in and never really heard it.

In the new house it is in the wardrobe of the back bedroom. Same combi boiler system so assumed it was probably easier to put it there than anywhere else.

I occasionnally hear it come on in the morning, this is often fixed by regularly bleeding the radiators to make sure the water can move through the system easily,

Ours is in the kitchen, and is quite noisy when it's firing up.

I wouldn't want one in the bedroom personally but if the house is perfect other than that, I'd pay for it to be moved. Could you not move the room around so that it might not be so much of a disturbance?

Mine is in a cupboard in the kitchen, which is below our bedroom. We hear the boiler come on in the morning sometimes because ours is quite loud. We have an airing cupboard in the bedroom as well which makes loads of noise when the shower comes on. We do have another room but we had to go in the smaller one because our ar$ehole neighbours keep us awake in the other room (as it is in the direction of their back garden).

Ours is in a wardrobe type unit in the kitchen - ours is a combi-boiler and we don't hear a thing.

Our old house had the boiler in the bedroom, there was a CO2 alarm in the room. It was a very new combi boiler and hardly made any noise at all - esp as the cupboard it was in had a door so when shut you couldn't hear much. Our current house has the boiler in the kitchen and it looks about as old as me, and is so noisy I wonder whether it will actually take off and fly through the roof some days.

Ours is also in a cupboard in our bedroom, doesn't bother me or my OH although occasionally I do hear it click on and fire up but although I am a light sleeper I assume I'm actually already half awake anyway.

My friend however has the boiler in her room (she house shares with other friends) and feels pretty hard don by because she has it in her room & it wakes her up.

I really think it depends on how loud the boiler is and maybe the cupboard it's housed in.

Ours is in the garage. My mum's is in a spare bedroom. I hear it when I visit her and it comes on in the morning. Most people have their heating off during the night anyway. If it bothers you ask the seller to knock off the cost of moving it.

Haha that is what l thought when l read this post!

Ours is called a "Back Boiler" as it lives in the chimney breast behind the fire in the living room. When it comes on, it makes a loud click, click, whoosh and H says when it's on there's a low level roar or hiss.

TBH, I can't hear it (I'm deaf) and as we mostly always have the TV on and we have a clock chiming the quarters in that room too, H says he doesn't hear it anymore. It's about 10yrs old the central heating system.

In our old house, the boiler was in a cupboard in the spare bedroom, when it went faulty, water ran down our stairs likes bloody Niagara Falls.

Our boiler is soooooo big, it has it's own room.

The last house I lived in, the boiler was in a cupboard in our bedroom and it wasn't much of an issue. Having said that, I had a very loud crying baby to disturb my sleep for the majority of the time we lived there.

Our boiler is a Combi and pretty quiet.

It's in our bedroom and it's never woken me or O/H up, or made it difficult to get to sleep ?
