No heating is approved?!

@tomttom There is no basement.... And a central heating system does not work due to the special construction of the terrace houses. Lowest floor = garages

My profession may not be well-liked, but I make those I deal with feel warm in their hearts, not cold in their homes.

The chimney sweep would surely like to warm you up as well; however, he has regulations to follow

How do the other 3 parties heat? Is a replacement of the heat generator planned for the near future for them as well?

Each unit in the residential complex heats with its own gas boiler, so 6 terraced houses with 4 to 6 apartments each. Since the houses were built in the 70s, most of the heating systems were replaced before the year 2000, so sooner or later all of them will need to be replaced. According to the chimney sweep, I am the first person to have this problem, and he says that while I have set a process in motion because a decision has to be made, of course, it will all take time....

He assured me that he would inspect an identical boiler in my apartment again if I could get one and find a specialist company to install it. That is currently my hope.

If the round table of the building authority, chimney sweep, and administration finds another solution, I might be able to switch to more modern technology in a few years— but this winter it would be warm!
