Add Wood
Can I add use a wood burning stove in existing central heating?
Can I add a wood burning stove as a supplemental (not replacement) boiler to an oil fired (sealed) central heating system. I would get a professional to do the work; it’s not a DIY project!
Can I add a wood burning stove as a supplemental (not replacement) boiler to an oil fired (sealed) central heating system. I would get a professional to do the work; it’s not a DIY project! – Neutralizer will not work on a sealed central heating system.(Dunsley’s website). Fuel oil costs about 20€per day in winter, and we tend to use the whole house rather than just one room; the furnace cannot be “swapped out” without major works so a supplemental burner is ideal. We have out own forest, so wood is there for teh cost of cutting.
Yes of course it can be done, however I suggest that you don’t do it .
When a boiler is added to any fire, it saps the heat out of it, and the benefits are lost, A cheerful fire delivering heat directly at you is very comforting.
When I was plumbing in the eighties, I got a call from a person who had water pouring out of her hearth on to the floor , I told her to put out the fire, as her back boiler had failed. On examination I discovered that the pipework was lead , I disconnected the fittings at the hot cylinder and drilled a small hole in the back boiler so that the water could drain . I said that she could light a fire immediately, as the boiler was now full of air, and would pose no danger.
I received a call several weeks later , and she said……..I don’t understand what you did to my fire, but whatever it was I wish you had done it 30 years earlier, as the fire has never been so hot, and I now have a good warm room.
I posted this as an analogy to indicate trhat you should never add a boiler to a fire.
FOOTNOTE
It’s a very expensive option joining up an extra boiler to an existing system.
