New central heating and wood stove. Whats best??

[gonzegorch]

Hi, i am about to start renovating my new house. I will be keeping the existing boiler but everything else, pipework, cylinder, rad's etc will be renewed. My requirements are that i want a wood burning stove to heat the rads as well as the boiler. but i would prefer presurrised hot water so i dont have the noise of electric shower pumps to get a decent shower. I have spent hours reading forums and information sites etc but have not come to a clear conclusion. dunsley convertor systems for open vented systems seem to complex and get bad reviews, I would then need the shower pumps. Thermal heat stores from speaking to heating engineers at work seem to be classed as expensive and not very efficent.

Is there a system type I have not stumbled across whilst looking on the net? what would you advise for my requiremnts. I am an electrican by trade so sorry if some questions I ask are dumb.

Any suggestions are greatly received. Thanks

H2 Panel or a thermal store

Thermal store's the way to go. Also gives you flexibility if you wan to add another woodburner / renewables etc. Dunsley neutraliser a bit outmoded now.

Most likely. An unvented cylinder heated via the solid fuel stove. Heating innovations ltd have a panel devised to acheive this arrangement. H2 as already pointed out.

Gledhill torrent, you wont bea able to use as an unvented with the wooodburner mind. However its mains supply which gives you hot water via a coil inside the cylinder and doesnt require G3 . Checkout gledhills website theres schematic drawings on there too,

You can indeed.

Gledhill torrent is a thermal store and is not a problem with a wood/ solid fuel boiler or stove

Thats why i surgested it , but you can also use it as a sealed systen , unless its with a woodburning stove.
