    12 big rads / 12 small rads , are they already sized correctly to the room ? Are you going to have oil/gas as well... Go to

    all rads are ok for each room single and double.
    we also have oil heating.
    we got our back boiler disconnected but have never used the fire since.
    so we need to reconnect the back boiler.

    You have not answered Marks question, he is asking did you count your double panel rads as 2? if not you need to for a true count.

    The issue most of this type of stoves have is low heat output to room, generally 2-3 kw, perfect for your average town house.

    A rough way of sizing your rads yourself if you have not yet involved a plumber is 1000 btus (2000 on a double) per foot or 1Kw per metre of radiator (2000 on a double)

    Hamco have a new one out the Morgan inset, made in Ireland seemingly

    hi thanks for your reply
    counting double rads as two we have 13 rads in all.
    the room that we are putting the stove is quite small.
    reconnecting the back boiler seems to not to easy.
