Well, I live in a VERY small 1 bed house with heating sources of wood burner in the kitchen and two electric radiators, 1 in the bedroom and 1 in the bathroom.
I have asked a local heating engineer to give me an idea of installing a back boiler onto the wood burner and then 2/3 radiators into the other rooms.
I was advised NOT to have a 'wet'(?) heating system as it would be impossible to dissipate unwanted heat from the system. The proposed solution was a blown air system which, to me, is not a solution I would even consider.
So, my questions is this...
My house is tiny and, for the most part, heats to a reasonable temperature from the wood burner in the kitchen. At times when the temperature falls below 10 degrees I would like to be able to heat radiators from the wood burner some way.
In my book, comfort wise at least, there can never be too much heat! Yes, I feel the cold! I'm happy to open a window or two! However, if it is a safety issue then I completely understand.
Would really appreciate some guidance/ideas on how best to achieve a warm house from a wood burner without blowing the place up!
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
