    I'm renovating an old cottage and will be installing UFCH with an Air to water heat pump. I'm building an extension off the cottage which will include a kitchen/utility and bathroom so it will basically be 3 Zones, Kitchen, Livingroom and 1 bedroom. The living room is 7 m x 4.5 m with a cathedral ceiling at a max height of 3 meters. I'm taking down the existing fireplace an plan to replace with a new fireplace and the plan was to have room heat only stove(no back boiler) to put in the new hearth, we had wanted a big inglenook style fireplace with a timber overmantel The issue (so Iv'e been told) is that we can't put a big stove in the max would be a 4kw due to the heat that would come from it and the UFCH on at the same time but this would look stupid as they are tiny in such a big fireplace, Can I turn down the zone for the Living room while the stove is on or would this defeat the purpose of the UFCH?? I would really appreciate any advice from anyone who has expertise in this Area, Thanks a mill Johnny

    Sounds like nonsense. Put in your big stove. Leave your underfloor as it is. All that’ll happen is the zone where the stove is will never open when the fire is on as the heat requirement for the stat is satisfied. If there’s too much heat in the room then open a door and let the heat transfer to the next room, and if you’re lucky, it’ll satisfy that roomstat too

    Fair play, thanks a mill, I was thinking the thermo stat for the zone for the sitting room would read that the room was already or getting hot and turn that zone down, I was thinking of putting a stove with a back boiler in but I would probably be making the system a lot more complicated! Cheers for the advise.....
