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 8-10,000 BTU, whilst an average radiator (3' x 4') takes around 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 run hot water and a few radiators or supplement an existing heating system but are not really designed for heating a whole house (unless your house is small or very well insulated that is). The nice thing about the Ecoburn stoves with a backboiler is that the stove still gives out a significant amount of heat to the room. The nice thing about the Acorn with backboiler is that it is ideal for a houseboat as it will not overpower the room whilst providing hot water.
