Gas Boiler fumes during strong wind

Red Hare · 2015-01-09 18:43:01

Its extremely windy right now and I am wondering if its safe to keep on the Gas Boiler? I live in a terraced house and the vent which lets out the smoke/steam is at the front - its being assailed by the wind right now and i'm worried if toxic fumes are being blown back in.

You have a balanced flued boiler that is room sealed.

The high winds can have a negative impact on your gas boiler but as its room sealed it can have no impact on you in respect of your safety.

On a side note, one of the things checked on a regular gas service is the room seal on the boiler, a simple check that becomes much more important on nights like this.
