Where to Position Condenser Dryer?

Hi,

I've had a quick look on the internet and have found just the one recommendation and that suggested it wasn't a good idea but I was wondering whether anyone in the know could advise please, on whether it is safe / practical to put a condenser dryer in an airing cupboard-type space (roughly 1.5m x 1.5m) which already houses a wall mounted combi boiler?

Is this a big no-no?

    I have one of these and , hardly surprising , it exhausts a lot of heat. I wouldn't put it in such a confined space.
    I took the view that I might as well use this "spare" heat to supplement the heating of my home and sited the dryer accordingly.
    Noise aside , it has produced some noticeable extra heat . I have not noticed any problems with additional condensation in my property.
    Forgotten but not gone.
  • Thanks tony6403.

    It will have to go in the cellar then as there's no other room for it topside so to speak.
  • These things do create incredible amounts of heat. Putting it in a confined space wouldn't be a great idea!
