Insert or stove?

[dodo]

Hello,

we have just bought an old house of 30 equipped with electric heating + an open fireplace.

We would like us to have electric heating and wood heating seems a good compromise.

Our idea would be simply to insert an insert into the chimney, after the question is whether this will allow us to heat the whole house rdc + 1er.

I even saw that we could do central heating with a boiler insert.


On the other hand some person advises me against the fireplace but to put a stove.


your advice will be welcome.

some people advise against the fireplace but to put a stove

I confirm to avoid, Also avoid the insert (the performance is deplorable and the comfort practically null but it is pretty)

A good cast iron stove is the ideal. Better yet, a good
cast iron cooker.The advantage of the stove is that the logs
will be longer.D another rating is less convenient for
cooking.Looking of the cook in the living room is that it
can be used as a flat heat, for recipes that must simmer
or even making jams and pasta while watching TV.

There are stoves with boilers. Advantage not to be neglected
to prepare domestic hot water at little cost.May also
heat several pieces connecting it to radiators.

Hello

The connection of a boiler insert to the central heating circuit is a little technical and probably a little more expensive than a stove but the result is up to those who have installed one.

rabbit: ha good insert casing insert it's so bad that I thought the yield was 80% like the focus close.

do you have a connection to the cast iron cooker?


looping: if I opt for an insert or an insert boulloir I counted by a pro.

In addition to the conduit of my chimney is hidden in a cupboard on the ground floor and in the attic it is right next to the beam and the pros who came to make estimates it is not good at all.

The modern inserts achieve high yields, in fact they are stoves shaped fit and without decorative trim.

For the duct, there are actually the safety distances to respect with respect to flammable materials. It remains to be seen on the spot what can / should be done.

For cooks there is Godin who is a very good brand
proven. There are certainly other brands
also valid but it will have to ask Philippe Schutt who
is a specialist in everything that heats wood and more.

If the opportunity does not scare you, there is Ebay who is often very
interesting at a very democratic price.It is necessary to avoid
the cusinieres before war which do not have a very good yield.
I have one (Rosiere) who is enthroned in the living room, pretty but consumes
twice as much as the Godin (1976) heating less.We use it
not too cold to drive the Godin or to make jams.

A quick shot of Google on pellet stove, and the smell of pies and pizzas starts to rise :-)

for example this stove...

does it look very imposing in a living room?

in plain language it means that it is better that I tear off my open fireplace.

[Philippe Schutt]

yes, tearing will probably be the best, although some inserts announce good performance (70%). see Richard Ledroff or Deville for example, they have their site with numbers.
In granules also, there are very correct inserts (yield 80-90%) which make it possible to recover open foci.

Cooks: lohberger, Wekos, Godin, extraflamme, and others. there is the choice!
in stoves, we find everything we can imagine, wood or pellet, with oven or without, heating water or air or 2, and almost all combinations.
So you really have to start from what you want, not from what exists, since almost everything exists.

I think a fireplace is prettier than an insert or a stove.

I have to think, because going back to a closed fireplace is not the same budget.

this is what I propose as insert http://www.turbofonte.com/fr/foyer/categorie-fonte-d-039-angle-vision-double-face/38--reference-eliseo-77-2-cv.html

I suppose that with an insert that heats the water must provide a backup heater.
