Wall Mounted Electric Fire Under Boiler

[MrPaul]

Hi,

I've converted half my out-house into a small office. It's getting rather cold in there now the temperature is starting to drop.

I want to wall mount an electric fire but the only space available is underneath my boiler.

I'm concerned this could be dangerous. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,
Paul

Can you not fit a normal radiator in there?

 

[MrPaul]

Thanks for your reply.

I could, but I imagine it would cost much more to do this. I'm looking for a cheap solution.

Would it be safe to install an electric fire below the boiler?

If you are in doubt you could move it over to the left ( below the window)

 

[MrPaul]

If you look closely on the left you can see the edge of my desk.

So I'm unable to have the electric fire any further left. It will take up the entire width of the wall you see in the pic.

I am concerned that it is not safe but I'm no expert, hence coming to this forum for advice.

It shouldn’t be an issue. The only thing that I can think of is heat rises so there may be some condensation on the pipes. Also if securing to the wall any!hidden pipes. Unless I’m forgetting anything

 

[MrPaul]

Ok, thanks for the advice.

I would say no as there's a risk to melting the case of the boiler, seen it with a toaster below the boiler

If it does get hot he could fit a heat deflector. (There looks like there is enough height in the picture though)

Thanks guys. Just to be safe I think I'll fit a heat deflector shelf, didn't know they even existed. Cheers.
