Types of wood boiler stove

Choosing the best woodburning boiler stove to go into a linked system is simplified by the fact that you don’t have to match the stove’s output to the total heat demand of your house. A larger output stove will let you burn more wood, but any boiler stove you add in will lead to a reduction in oil and gas bills - how much you save will be decided mostly by how often you light the stove and how long you run it for.  Every boiler stove gives part of its heat to the room and part to heating water so it’s important that the stove doesn’t overheat the room where it is installed while it’s heating the rest of the house. Unless the house is very open plan, or the warmth can easily spread upstairs, aim for a boiler stove that gives more of its heat to the water and less to the room.

Here are a range of boiler stoves that can be linked into your existing system showing the outputs to water and to the room, and if it can be connected directly into a Pressurised system (P) and can have an Overheat Safety Valve (OSV).
