    Manslaughter... or not

    When did carbon monoxide come into it? Looks like a typo for CO2 to me. In any case CO is fairly reactive and soon combines with oxygen to give CO2, aided by UV. That's why CO from petrol engines doesn't build up in the atmosphere

    As a starter, unless your place is large, 24 kW is likelyto be oversized, let alone 30 kW. Have they done a heat loss calculation?

    Taking possession of something you own.

    I was only commenting on the increase stated in #25. Not the actual figures, which no doubt vary a lot around the UK.
