Boiler stoves

We specialise in boiler stoves for big and small heating systems. We offer help with installation and chimney design for every stove we supply, but we can also offer specialist advice on designing your heating system. A system with a boiler stove, solar thermal, heat pump and solar PV combined is no stranger to us. On the other side of the coin we help customers to link up smaller stoves with back boilers in the simplest way possible. Our focus is on making the system as simple to understand as possible, as safe as possible, and of course to give you a system which works in the way you need it to, to keep your home warm and to add value to your lives.

Boiler stoves for central heating

A boiler stove has part or the whole of its fire chamber made from a boiler. This boiler was traditionally placed at the back of the stove, hence the term 'back boiler'. Nowadays it is quite common that the whole body of the stove is the boiler - that passes more heat to the water and less to the room. So one thing to pay attention to is how much heat the boiler stove gives to the room. You do not want to overheat the room, and if it is too little then an easy solution is to also have a radiator in the same room as the boiler stove.

An even more modern approach to wood central heating is to use a wood pellet boiler. These automatically switch on and off giving you the chance to put your feet up. The Firepower network of dealers and engineers covers the UK and Ireland so that we Anyway you might like to explore our wood pellet boilers.

When we help to design your wood boiler stove heating system we often start out by working out what your peak heat load is. This is the heat you need to heat your house when it is really cold outside. We then learn from you how you plan to use your boiler stove and that gives us a great starting point to design your wood boiler heating system. Each system is a little different and we try to tailor it to your needs. We can specify and supply everything needed for your system from the boiler stove, specialised pumps and controls to thermal stores (300lt-20,000lt). See our wood central heating page for more info.

Correctly Sizing your boiler stove

If you want the boiler stove to provide all the heating and hot water in your house then the best place to start is to contact us and we can do a heat load calculation for you. Please be warned that just adding up the outputs of all the radiators in your house will usually give you a total figure which is way too high and so it is not a good basis for sizing your boiler stove. Similarly matching the output of a gas boiler is not a good indicator either as these are usually also oversized.

multi fuel and wood stoves with back boilers for central heating

If you only want a multi fuel or wood boiler stove with a back boiler to contribute to your system then you probably do not need a full heat load calc. A multi fuel or wood burning stove with a back boiler tends to give more heat to the room, and less to the water, so are perhaps better suited if, for example, you just want a boiler stove to top up your hot water. Whatever heat that your back boiler stove adds in just means that your conventional oil or gas boiler will run for less time.

Are you a heating engineer? If you need a heat output in BTU then you can use our BTU to kW converter.

We love to create simple, and easy to understand, solutions to apparently complex problems.

Linking up

We can help you and your engineer to work out how best to link your boiler stove to your heating system. Sometimes this can be as easy as plumbing it as if it is a little like a radiator, at other times we may need to link up open vented and pressurised system. We can help you to hook your boiler stove into your heating system and will endevour to come up with as simple and easy to understand a solution to an apparently complex problem.

For information of how to set up a central heating system using a stove with a backboiler please visit our page incorporating a boiler stove as part of a central heating system.

New wood heating and hot water systems

We also design new wood heating systems from scratch for newbuild and extensive retrofit. Heating and hot water systems with many renewable heat sources are bread and butter to us: so systems with a wood boiler stove, wood pellet boiler, solar thermal, solar pv, heat pumps, MVHR are very normal for us to work with. We usually design and supply the wood heating and thermal store side of things, and liaise with the other specialist suppliers (solar, heat pumps, etc) to make sure it all goes to plan.

Contemporary stoves with boilers

We have quite a few contemporary stoves with back boilers that we can show you: the Opus Calypso, the Woodfire Passiv and more of the Woodfire range, and others. Our team will be happy to help you with your specific needs, do just contact us.

Inset boiler stoves

Inset boiler stoves are built into a wall or chamber in your house. This is quite convenient for a boiler stove because pumps, pipes and controls can easily be hidden. Our Woodfire boiler stoves will help you harness the power of wood, with heat outputs up to 40kW.

Aarrow boiler stoves

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 enough) and the larger stoves can also run a radiator or two. These Aarrow stoves with clip in boilers 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. For example, the Aarrow Ecoburn Plus 11 model has an output range of 2.5kw – 14kw with a nominal output of 11kw. The heat output to the boiler is 4.2kw, making the output to the room 2.5kw – 9.8kw. The boiler testing is measured on wood.

The Aarrow Acorn stove with backboiler is ideal for a houseboat as it will not overpower the room whilst still providing hot water.

Aarrow Ecoburn Plus 4 stove	1.8kW	2.2kW	86.3%	Wood or Multifuel
Aarrow Ecoburn Plus 5 stove	2kW	3kW	74.7%	Multifuel or Wood
