    As always, "It depends on .....". If your "old" boiler is an atmospheric boiler vented through Type B or other vertical venting, you will probably have to move the venting to the new location. This could be a problem.

    A new condensing/modulating boiler may be easier to deal with on venting issues with a new PVC vent exiting out through the side wall or rim joist. This solution would provide excellent efficiency and, maybe, the least expensive way to vent the boiler at the new location.

    As mentioned, "It depends!" Not really enough information to give ya much guidance!

    A qualified hydronics contractor could give you the options and attach the $$$ variables to the options.
