Stoves with backboilers
A stove with a backboiler can be used to supplement your existing heating system or to entirely run your heating and hot water. As a rough rule of thumb domestic hot water generally takes 2.3-3kW (8-10,000 BTU), whilst an average radiator (3' x 4') takes around 1.5kW (5,000 BTU). This rule of thumb is no substitute for the advice of a good plumber / heating engineer.
Stainless steel backboilers tend to cost a little more than steel backboilers, but will last longer. Glass lined backboilers (like Franco Belge stoves have) will tend to last longer than steel only backboilers.
Clip-in backboilers can be added to the stove at a later date and so are available seperately, but have a lower heat output than integral, factory fitted stove backboilers.
Integral backboilers are factory fitted and have a high heat output. Generally a stove with an integral backboiler will have a fairly low (1-5kW) output to the room and a high output to the boiler.
Unless otherwise indicated the prices shown are for the backboiler only. Many of the stoves have multiple options - ie flat top, low canopy, high canopy, wood burning, or multifuel. It is sometimes easier to find the price for the backboiler and then visit the stove page to find the price of the stove version that you want.
For information of how to set up a central heating system using a stove with a backboiler please visit our page incorporating a stove as part of a central heating system.

Aarrow stoves with add in backboilers
Aarrow Ecoburns and Aarrow Acorn stoves can come with clip in backboilers. These backboilers can supplement your hot water (or provide all of it if you run the stove for long engough) and the larger stoves can also run a radiators or two.
