boilers – can they be moved to the attic?

[Unregistered-suzys66]

we have hot water baseboard heating, can the boilder be moved to the attic to save space? How extensive would the cost be if this was done?

This is one of those questions that has items to consider. What is the boiler weight and construction … how big is the attic … would a small boiler that could do the job in another location be a consideration at similar expense.

The other part of the question is the usual …
How much would it cost to move and replace a boiler of unknown dimensions to an unspecified location on an unknown ceiling construction, passing tubing from where the boiler is now through the ceiling, patch and paint, sight unseen? Your guess would be as good as anyone else.

Yes, you really have to find out the MAKE and MODEL to get good answers. There IS more than one machine made.

I don’t think it would be worth the effort. Would the attic floor hold it or need to be reinforced? Also, I think you should check into the whole air flow, as you’ll have to be pushing the heat down instead of letting it rise naturally as it goes up.
