    hi
    we have a 17kw stove in our living area with a back boiler on it heating the rads water etc.. question is can the boiler be switched on and off to give more heat output to the room when needed?
    thanks

    could you turn thermo stat up higher so it would not start pumping until the water got really hot.i think!

    No idea but I have a query of my own. Thinking of installing a stove and boiler myself. Just wondering how yours is performing. What kw rating is it and how many rads are you heating. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

    Depends on the way it is plumbed with pumps and non return valves its a complicated question unless A plumber would know exactly what way its setup.

    All solid fuel appliances must dispense of its heat.

    Do not attempt to hold back the heat in the boiler let it flow away. Or you'll be sorry !!
