Free Boiler Installation 2015

These boilers include stationary, portable, and traction type boilers, but not locomotive and high-temperature water boilers, nuclear power-plant boilers (see Section XI), heating boilers (see Section VI), pressure vessels, or marine boilers. Guidelines are also provided for operation of auxiliary equipment. This form may be obtained from The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, 1055 Crupper Ave., Columbus, OH 43229 NB-365 Rev. 2 Created Date 5/5/2015 9:06:22 AM.

The free boiler scheme has been around for a good few years now, hundreds of thousands of free boilers have been installed in to peoples homes throughout the UK and now, thanks to the UK government, the scheme has been extended until at least 2017.

If you claim the correct combination of income-related benefits, you could qualify to have a free boiler installed in to your home either completely free of charge, or heavily subsidised. When the scheme was extended in 2015’s new financial year, some changes took place the criteria was tweaked slightly.

Installation

Gas Boiler Installation Instructions

Before you apply for a free boiler grant, below are five things you should know;

  • Free Boilers are available for a limited time only – The Free Boiler scheme has been extended until 2017, but there is still only a very limited pot of funding which is available. If you think you may qualify, act fast and apply as quickly as you can.
  • Income limited raised to £16,010 – Last year, the limit was £15,860 if you were in receipt of Child Tax Credits, or Working Tax Credits. It has now been raised up to £16,010 which opens the scheme up to a whole new range of people.
  • A/B Rated Boilers can now be replaced – Previously, the free boiler scheme did not allow installers to replace A/B rated boilers. Now, however, if your boiler is broken beyond economical repair, then you could qualify for a fully funded, free replacement.
  • Funding levels have increased slightly – In recent weeks, new contracts have been rolled out to free boiler installers and the rate has increased slightly from what it was at the start of 2015. This means that if you had an assessment previously and were told you may have had to contribute a high amount to cover the installation costs, you may now be able to have the boiler installed for free, or subsidised even more.
  • Nationwide Coverage – There are installers all over the country now who are able to look after the free boiler grant installation. So, no matter where you live, if you apply, you should be able to have a survey within as little as 48 hours.

The intent of this brief is to provide code-related information about gas-fired boilers to help ensure that the measure will be accepted as being in compliance with the code. Providing notes for code officials on how to plan reviews and conduct field inspections can help builders or remodelers design installations and prepare construction documents, and provide jurisdictional officials with information for reviews, inspection and acceptance. Providing the same information to all interested parties (e.g., code officials, builders, designers, etc.) is expected to result in increased compliance and fewer innovations being questioned at the time of plan review and/or field inspection.

A boiler typically uses a fuel such as natural gas, propane, or fuel oil in a vented combustion chamber, much like a furnace. Whereas a furnace directly transfers heat from combustion to supply air in the air distribution unit, a boiler heats a secondary transfer fluid (typically water, but sometimes steam) that is, in turn, pumped through a radiation/convection system located throughout a building or home. The hot water can also be used to heat air via a coil and blower. Boilers are more commonly used in commercial construction than residential construction, but they may be more prevalent in residential construction in some areas of the country and in older homes. Boilers are typically between 75% and 96% efficient in the primary process of heating the water, but any un-insulated heating water piping will lower the overall efficiency of space heating.

In addition to the boiler unit, a gas-fired boiler requires a feed water supply, a boiler loop/heat delivery system (e.g., hydronic radiators or fan coil units), fuel supply piping and equipment, and a temperature control system. The chapters of the International Residential Code (IRC) that are likely relevant to the installation of a gas-fired boiler include Chapter 13, General Mechanical System Requirements; Chapter 14, Heating and Cooling Equipment; Chapter 20, Boilers and Water Heaters; Chapter 21, Hydronic Piping, and Chapter 24, Fuel Gas.

The relevant energy-efficiency sections of the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and IRC (Chapter 11, Energy Efficiency) that relate to gas-fired boilers include Section R403, Systems (IECC) and N1103, Systems (IRC). For existing buildings, new heating and cooling systems that are part of a remodel or alteration or an addition must comply with Section R502/N1108 with the exception of where ducts from an existing heating and cooling system are extended to an addition, duct systems with less than 40 linear feet in unconditioned spaces are not required to be tested per R502.1.1.2/N1108.1.1.2. The Energy Efficiency provisions related to hot water boilers for the 2009, 2012, and 2015 code versions have mostly remained the same except for inclusion of an outdoor setback control requirement to control the water temperature based on the outdoor temperature. This specific requirement, which was added in the 2015 version, is detailed below under the Plan Review and Field Inspection sections.

The focus of this brief is on boiler efficiency, sizing requirements, controls, combustion air, and duct and pipe insulation for the 2015 version of the IECC/IRC.

Per the 2015 IECC/IRC, Section R103.3/R106.3, Examination of Documents. The code official/building official must examine, or cause to be examined, construction documents for code compliance.

This section lists the applicable code requirements followed by details helpful for plan review regarding the provisions to meet the requirements for 'gas-fired boilers.'

Per the IECC, Section R104, Inspections. Construction or work for which a permit is required is subject to inspection. Construction or work is to remain accessible for inspection purposes until the inspection is complete and the work approved. Required inspections include footing and foundation, framing and rough-in work, plumbing rough-in, mechanical rough-in, and final inspection.

Per the IRC, Section R109, Inspections. The wording is somewhat different in that, for onsite construction, from time to time the building official, upon notification from the permit holder or his agent, can make, or cause to be made, any necessary inspections. Further details are provided for inspections regarding the foundation, plumbing, mechanical, gas and electrical, floodplain, frame and masonry, and final inspection. Any additional inspections are at the discretion of the building official.

Free Boiler Installation 2015 Honda

This section provides details for inspecting to the specific provisions for gas-fired boilers where one or more specific type of inspection per the IECC or IRC may be necessary to confirm compliance. The mechanical rough-in and/or final inspection would be most likely the inspections to confirm code compliance for 'gas-fired boilers.'

Inspections should provide verification in the following areas:

  • Boiler is properly located and mounted, and connections are made per approved construction documents. Proper clearances are maintained for hazardous or noxious fumes.
  • Verification that appropriate thermostats and outside-air heating-water-reset controls are installed per the approved construction document.
  • Confirmation that shutoff valves are readily accessible and that piping is properly installed and insulated, including pipe hangers at correct spacing.
  • All intake and exhaust openings are properly located and flashed to prevent moisture incursion.
  • If employed, radiant system is installed in accordance with manufacture's installation instructions and R-values of insulation meet the approved R-value per construction documents.
  • If ducts are used in the installation, verify that joints and seams in ductwork are properly sealed, and the duct tightness report is complete and has been submitted per jurisdictional requirements.
  • Verify that pumps are listed and labeled and conform to approved construction documents.
