Hi all.. First time here, interesting discussions ...
I'm currently trying to lower my heating and elect bills as both are massive!
My heating is running at 400p/m on Oil and 25-30 p/w on coal + logs
I have 2 young kids (4.5yrs & 7months) so house needs to be warm. The open fire is lite from 730am every morning right through till 9-10ish pm and the oil for approx 6 hrs, but bedrooms are not very warm. The fire has no
Back boiler BUT the hot press is directly behind fireplace (house is a large bungalow) , we rent but don't plan on moving for couple of years at least Infact we would buy it if opp arose.
I looking to buy a boiler stove that I could get plumbed into hotpress tank. The house has 15 rads but we have 5 turned off. Can anybody recommend any stoves that would do the job but possible not break the bank? I was looking at a brand new stove in a local store that was a 20kw priced at 1000(which is do-able but a stretch). Also does anybody have any thoughts on 2nd hand stoves ?
Thanks, sorry for long winded message but wanted to provide details so correct info can be gathered.
