Renovations on existing flues
A condensing boiler places different demands on flue gas discharge than the appliance it replaces. When replacing, we first check whether the existing flue is suitable or needs lining — before the quote, not after.

Heating, plumbing and air conditioning in Hoeilaart
Hoeilaart is enclosed by the Sonian Forest and has a compact centre with many terraced and semi-detached houses from the greenhouse era. Many have since been thoroughly renovated, which means modern installations sit on old pipe runs and old flues — exactly the combination where problems appear.

What is different here?
Damp and ventilation in renovated homes
Improving insulation without revisiting ventilation produces condensation on cold bridges and mould in the bathroom. So when there is a damp problem we always look at ventilation, not only at the plumbing.
Compact centre, limited outdoor space
For terraced houses, positioning the outdoor unit of an air conditioner or heat pump is a genuine design question: noise towards neighbours, distance to the boundary and condensate drainage all decide what is possible.

Frequently asked questions about Hoeilaart
Can air conditioning be fitted to a terraced house in Hoeilaart?
Usually yes, but the position of the outdoor unit is decisive. Noise towards neighbours, distance to the property boundary and condensate drainage together determine which layout is workable. Photos of the façade and yard with your request speed that assessment up considerably.
Does my flue need modifying for a new boiler?
That depends on the existing duct. A condensing boiler produces cooler, moist flue gases that require a suitable, usually lined, discharge. We check this beforehand so the cost of any lining is already in the quote.
