Really what I'm asking is what's the minimum size hole in the wall I'll need for to stand in the Oisin. Thanks.

After several internet searches we can't seem to find any company's that do the boiler stoves, a lot of them just do regular chimney stoves. We live in Dublin in a regular 3 bed semi. Also does anyone have any experience as to the cost? I read that a system link has to be installed. I know this is typically specialised job for a plumber so I am weary of who we hire and want to make sure they know what they are doing. Thanks in advance for your help.

A lot of plumbers in the past had said it was over kill to use a pump for each zone but with newer energy efficient wilo pump that are supplied with the system link it's not really an issue anymore. I installed mine before the wiring centre was avaible from system link. Now you can by a complete set up of pumps and wiring controls direct from system link. I swear bu this system but there are other optiind out there.

ravendude wrote: » Hello. Question 're. Double sided stoves. Thinking about installing a double sided stove in an existing double chimney breast, (that has 2 fireplaces backing on to each other). We have builders doing an extension so might get some work done on the chimney to accommodate a double sided insert stove. The one side of the double sided stove would face our existing sitting room. The other side would face an open plan area comprising kitchen/diner and sunroom. The open plan area would be nearly 3 times the size of the sitting room. Would the imbalance likely cause issues whereby the sitting room might be sweltering but the open plan area might not warm enough? Or is it generally possible to control with dampers or vents to some extent? We are considering a Morso S120 wood burning insert, 10kw nominal. Any feedback on brand etc? Want to get something reliable and reputable. Also, Would we be better off going multituel in terms of heat output? Storage etc for logs wouldn't be a huge problem. Thanks for any advice!

On the other hand Boru quote 10KW for a 600i. Just wondering how these actually compare to each other in reality. Should I compare the stovax at 11kw or 8kw to Borus 10kw. The space is quite large so want some thing that is s decent size

Forge83 wrote: » The Boru is also nominal. If you plan on burning good dry wood buy the Stovax. If you plan on burning dirty turf or coal but the Boru. Heat Design Vitae 9kw or 11kw or Henley Faro 600 two others to consider. Saw a new Vitae going cheap on DoneDeal a few days ago.
ravendude wrote: » Thanks for the suggestions. What would be regarded as a high quality brand for multi fuel at that kind of output (10kw)? Looking for something a bit contemporary looking also. Would be happy to pay a bit more for quality and peace of mind, "buy cheap buy twice" and all that. I saw some Stovax and you could really tell the difference in quality, but as you suggest, they tend to focus more on wood burning as you go up the KW. Same with Morso. How would Aarow compare?
