    Hi I was wondering if someone knows what stove size I need for my house.

    The stove will be located in the sun room which is 14ft 6" square by 13ft high. It is then open to the kitchen which is approx 24ft long by 15ft wide by 8ft 6" high

    I am also linking it to the upstairs radiators of which there is 11. The sizes are as follows

    master bedroom 2 of 600 ×1000
    clothes room 600×500
    en suite 600×700 and 450×1000
    Bedroom 600×1300
    Bedroom 600×1300
    Bedroom 600×1200
    Hall 600× 900 double rad and 600×700
    Bathroom 14 link cast iron rad.

    I would greatly appreciate some help on finding the required stove size.

    Thanks

    Have this stove is my own house, heats sitting room incredibly well and heats 11 radiators well also. My house is a bungalow though. Only down side is you can burn a lot of fuel if you don't manage it properly, it's an animal but works well. Shop around for best price and look for reviews but no complaints from me.

    How much did this set you back?

    Its a few years since I put it in but I think material inc. Stove was around €1100. Beware of the price of copper and fittings, they are expensive as you will need 1" piping etc...

    Depending on the location of stove and how much work is needed it should cost roughly €300 quid for a days work.

    Consider how much oil/gas you could buy for the €1500 euro this may cost. And how long it will take to get the value back.
    If you have timber or turf for free I'd say go ahead but if your buying solid fuel just have a good think about how expensive that is to buy also.

    Best of luck
