Log fire and back boiler

dane-katie

Hi, we are thinking of changing our log fire to a log fire with a back boiler to do our radiators sometime next year.

We have a Hunter Herald fire which i love, can anyone give me some recommendations on some fires or makes etc

Trying to gather as much info as i can so i can find out prices etc.

Thanks

There are a couple of threads on this subject.

It isn't easy or cheap combining a back boiler with a Central heating system. You will probably need a Dunsley Neutraliser

Ensure you get it done correctly as you have a potential explosive device on your hands - water can boil and must have an escape valve.

I have had such a system for years - a Baxi combined with Gas CH - and am getting the baxi decommissioned(water drained out etc) as it is more trouble than it is worth.
