Homeowners looking to supply their own domestic hot water and central heating requirements or augment their existing heating system can choose from a range of contemporary and traditionally styled boiler stoves.
PLEASE NOTE: Stovax no longer produce any boiler stove models, but we do have other wood burning stoves available. Visit our product finder.
The size of your house and heating system is an important aspect to consider when choosing your boiler stove. If you a have a boiler stove that is too big for your house, it will make your house too hot and will not be efficient. Alternatively, if you have a boiler stove that is too small, it will not maintain your desired temperature.
You can size the boiler correctly by calculating the following heat loads:
Radiators
The amount of heat required to run the radiators efficiently. The correct size of radiator depends on the required temperature for the room, the room heat losses and the radiator manufacturer’s guides.
Hot Water
The amount of heat required to provide the desired amount of domestic hot water.
Losses
The amount of heat lost in pipe work – typically 10% of the combined radiators and hot water loads. Please note that there are national guidelines for calculating these figures (See BS 5449: 1)
