Getting a stove with a backboiler

 

If you have been looking at getting a multi fuel stove then you might have already had a look at some of the stoves that have a backboiler. There are a lot of advantages to having one of these as they can be used to supplement you heating system. A backboiler can also be used in order to actually heat your entire hot water and heating system if you like and using a multi fuel stove as the source for this will mean that you are able to burn almost any fuel you like, therefore helping to keep your costs down on your heating bulls and helping to save the environment.

There are a lot of different types of backboilers out there however including stainless steel backboilers. There tend to cost a little bit more than a steel backboiler but they will last a lot longer than just a steel one. There are also backboilers that are lined with glass and these will last longer than the stainless steel backboilers too. Another type of backboiler out there is the clip in backboiler. This is a backboiler that is actually able to be added to a multi fuel stove at a later date as they simply clip in. These are available as a separate item from your stove and they can be added at any time you like. This is great if you only have a limited amount of money at the moment but it is something that you think you would like to add later. These do have a lower output of heat that a stainless steel backboiler however which could be a problem in some cases.

Another thing to note about backboilers is that not all multi fuel stoves are compatible with them and that also, the prices of them vary quite a lot. They will be quite expensive to buy and quite expensive to install as well so this needs to be taken into account when you are thinking about your stove. In some cases, you might already have a backboiler in your home in which case it might be possible for you to install your new multi fuel stove into it. This will keep your costs down and will also minimise the amount of work that you need to do on your home and the amount of money you have to pay for installation.
