Yeah, if they sit the other side of that fence then they will smell it when your boiler fires up, might just of been the off chance they were sitting there when it fired up after fitting. That smell should go away after a few seconds.
no .. you will get water/rain back into your system ..
it should be going straight out ? and the heat/fumes should only travel a foot or so before dispersing.
is there a foot or 2 between you and there property line ?
Does the plume expel outwards over the fence? I would have thought it would barely expel a foot before rising to the sky.
Even if it was angled left or right, they're still going to see it/smell it/hear it/<whatever else they're complaining about>.
Mines a vertical flue and the condensation easily travels the length of the house when it's going full blast.The plume on my flue goes a lot further than a foot I think it would be polite to re-direct the plume up into the air in that install.

The condensation on mine is enough on a cold morning to travel about 5 foot down the path and then set off my Ring floodlight camera which is on the corner of the wall on the other side. I'm moving the boiler at some point so will wait until then before tackling it.Mines a vertical flue and the condensation easily travels the length of the house when it's going full blast.
£400 to for a plume kit. Lolif it's £100, no. What if British Gas want £400?
Which rules would those be? If the rule exists, it should also specify what distance is acceptable as most flues will face a neighbours property at some distance. Also do not confuse a condensation plume on a cold morning, with the exhaust gasses, they are two separate things. 12 years working in Environmental Health, I have dealt with enough of these over the years.Just fit a plume control kit. Job done.
It is actually a rule to not allow the flue plume to cause a nuisance. Generally means don't eject it towards someone else's property without control at least.

£400 to for a plume kit. Lol
They cost about £50 and take a couple of minutes to fit.
£350 to fit a plume kit is some going even for British Gas.Because British Gas normally just charge for parts when they do work? (And I'm sure they source the cheapest parts too)

It's what plume kits are for, i was answering your original post, my dad complained about their neighbours new boiler and he just fitted a plume kit after seeing that the plume would on occasion blow into my parents kitchen window.Who knows though. I never said it would, I asked what if it did.... The point being, where do you draw the line. I didn't think I needed that much explanation, sorry.
