  • A boiler stove combines two functions in one appliance: The fire of the stove provides warmth and comfort in the living area. The stove also provides energy for the heating of water for the heating and domestic use.
  • A boiler stove can contribute in two ways to heating your home or hot water production. The central heating stove can be connected directly to the heating system. Or the central heating stove can send hot water to a buffer tank.
  • A boiler stove can be installed in an existing home. You will need to provide a connection between the heat exchanger and the central heating installation or a buffer tank.

Central heating stoves are available in solid fuel and pellet and range from 6 radiators to 16 radiators of standard size, single 5ft x 2ft
