Some food for thought in the above post from DavyJones. You might also consider a dual-fuel stove which gives you even more flexibility.Yes, they can be hooked up to the central heating but this depends on location of pipes etc. I assume you have oil central heating?! The advantages of having solid fuel heating as well as oil is, if you run out off oil you have a back up or atleast one warm room in the house. Back boilers in fireplaces are making a noteable comeback, people like the idea of duel heating, it gives choice with the changing price of fuel.
My brother-in-law has a hunter stove and he cannot understand how little fuel our stove uses - our sittingroom is 18 x 20 with 1 very large celing to floor bay window and another large ceiling to window and a set of french to outside and a set of double doors into the sunroom and we fight over having to leave the door out to the hall open as my OH can't stick the heat and I love it. We usually light it around 5 ish this weather and one shovel of coal and that's all that goes on it for the night and the room is still warm in the morning.
can someone tell me is it alot of workto attach the stove with a back boiler to the heating system. Is there alot of pipe work to be done and if so is it expensive and is there a huge amount of chasing and lifting of floorboards to get to the tank. Guy trying to sell me wood pellet boiler sugested that his way was cheaper and alot less hassel.
