    Wood burning stove with air to water heat pump

    Is it possible to install a wood burning stove with an air to water heat pump? I was speaking to a few plumbers who have said this is not possible as the air to water system is a pressurized system and the stove needs to be in a vented system.

    I've just bought a 3-floor house with a gas boiler on the ground floor and hot water tank on the middle floor.

    I live in an ex local authority end terrace house. I am unsure if I have an underground leak from a water pipe?
