Should boiler be wired to main ring?

[bengee]

I'll shortly be re-wiring my entire house, but wondered if i should wire the boiler to the downstairs main ring (using a switched FCU) or should it be on it's own circuit? It's wattage is 270W.

Any opinions or advice appreiciated

There is no reason why you can't put it on the ring main, as it will draw just over 1 amp. In this case you would put a 3 amp fuse in the FCU to protect the boiler in case of an internal fault.
