Woodstoves are a popular, economical wood burning option for space heating, which can also be used with a back boiler for a heating system, or as a secondary heat source to supplement a gas boiler. They create an excellent focal point to a room and come in many different styles, from the classical to the very modern contemporary stoves.
These wood burners allow a proportion of the heat to be radiated to the room, whilst the rest is transmitted to serve the home with hot water, heat radiators, underfloor heating systems, or simply to supply hot water stored in the cylinder. This allows the gas boiler to lay inactive for periods of time, saving precious energy.
Wood burners or multi-fuel burners are an economical and efficient method for heating domestic properties. Multi-fuel burners will burn a range of coal, wood and other recommended solid fuels.
Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves can also have a thermostat fitted to the hot water jacket, which shuts down the air intake automatically at a pre-set water temperature. This allows the fire to slumber, controlling the output to water and further prolonging the burn to save fuel.
Wood burning stoves can be integrated into the heating system using thermal stores and buffer tanks, alongside other renewable heat sources.
