Hi Folks
We are planning to replace the open fire in the sitting room with a multifuel boiler stove. The house is a 1900sq ft bungalow with 10 rads..standard cavity with plenty attic insulation
Initially i looked at the non inset type such as the Carraig Mor but with a deep chimney breast it lands very far in to the room and I think they look better in a kitchen. With a standard hearth and wooden floor it also meant alot of messing with a new very big hearth
So we decided on an inset. The Boru 600 boiler model looked ideal but when i ripped out the fireplace the flue gatherer is only 800 wide and the fireplace opening is about 460mm with no chance of widening without structural messing.
With these dimensions I started looking at the Boru Chieftain . The Boru puts 14kw to water and no more than 2kw to room. My concern is the 2kw
As it is in a sitting room i'm a bit worried it will seem wimpy even if it is doing a good job of heating the rads. The room is 4 x 5m x 2.45 high. The only reason I'm even considering it is that there is a decent rad in the room already which might make up the balance
The only other option i've seen is the Esse 350 GS
The Esse puts 11.1 to water and 3.6 to the room
I would appreciate any comment particularily from some one who may have one of these models in use.
Thanks
Mike
