Back Boiler Stoves
A back boiler solid fuel stove is a clever design of home heating system. It’s a stove that not only warms the room it’s in but also heats water for your central heating system and domestic use all powered by burning solid fuels like smokeless fuels and logs.
- How it WorksThe back boiler is a built-in water tank located behind or within the stove. When you light the stove, heat from the fire warms the water in the boiler. This hot water is then circulated through radiators or stored in a hot water cylinder for taps and showers.
- Fuel TypesWood logsSmokeless fuel: High heat output, longer burn time.
- BenefitsDual purpose heating: Warms your room and your water. Energy savings: Can reduce price compared to gas or electric boilers. Cost effective.
- Things to ConsiderRecommended to be installed by a qualified professional such as Hetas, Oftec or similarly qualified installer. Needs regular maintenance and chimney sweeping. Works best with an open-vented heating system unless specifically designed otherwise.
Your local HETAS engineer can advise you of the most suitable and cost effective option. For more information on solid fuel back boiler stoves and stockists, visit the websites of leading manufacturers on our Links page or telephone our local call rate Helpline 01773 835400.
