Integrate Stove in existing Heating System

tullachBuí · 2009-11-17 22:23:09

How easy would it be to add a solid fuel stove with boiler into an existing oil fired central heating system. I am adding a small extension which will include a sitting room. It would need a radiator but I was thinking of getting a stove and piggybacking it with the oil. Is it difficult to plumb this integration typically?…

I'd love to hear any thoughts or experiences of this type of thing.

Its not easy but it just requires some thought from the plumber, an interlock is required, I've seen it done on a couple of jobs.
