New Stove - connect to rads or no ?

Horse1920

Hi - I'm building a new house 2900sqft and have conflicting advise on stove install, we've nothing done yet so the thinking is a 40 tube solar with a condenser boiler - we left pipe work for a gravity feed to the 300ltr tank directly overhead - now our plumber is saying that if the stove isn't on a lot then go with a non boiler to heat the living and kitchen but if the missus is home all day in the future get a boiler one and plumb it in --- lot of other people telling us to plumb in now ? Thanks in advance for any feedback

I have two stoves in my house, a dry stove in the living room and a wet stove in the kitchen. I can get the living room lovely and warm with very little fuel and as we spend most of our time there we don't bother heating the whole house. When the wet stove in the kitchen is lit, the kitchen gets a little bit warmer but not much as most of the heat is being sent around the house. If you want to heat the whole house, you need to keep filling the stove with fuel.
Hope that's of some help

Thanks a million - were trying to weigh it all up - kinda hedging toward a boiler one but am afraid that the living room won't be as warm as we'd like it to be - the plumber was also saying that the boiler stove and solar system rather than compliment each other work against each other sometimes, will have to try and get more info on that - thanks again
