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. When we specify a large boiler stove we like to ascertain the heat demand of your house first so that we can be sure that the stove has the required heat output.
As a rough rule of thumb domestic hot water generally takes 2.3-3kWh/person /day (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. You can use our BTU to kW converter if you want to convert BTU to kW or kW to BTU, however 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 too high and so it is not a good basis for sizing your boiler stove.

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.

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.

Boiler stove name	Heat to water	Heat to room	Efficiency	Fuel
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
Aarrow Ecoburn Plus 7 stove	2kW	5kW	72.1%	Wood or multifuel
Aarrow Ecoburn Plus 9 stove	3.3kW	5.7kW	71.6%	Multifuel
Aarrow Ecoburn Plus 11 stove	4.2kW	6.8kW	74.7%	Multifuel
