Central Heating Wood only Stoves

CHARNWOOD’S range of boiler stoves are designed specifically for those wishing to run a full central heating system. The benefits of a 'real fired' central heating system as opposed to gas, electric or oil are numerous: the constant heat source, elimination of condensation and the continual air changes caused by a 'breathing' heating appliance, are far more beneficial to health and well-being than its counterparts.

The high efficiency of these boilers also offers significant environmental benefits. For example where a 50/50 mixture of wood and coal is burned the net CO2 emissions can be reduced to less than a gas or oil boiler. Increase the percentage of wood and the savings are even greater. In practical terms this means burning less than one averaged sized log basket of wood plus a mere 6.3 kgs of coal a day. See our Multi-Fuel Heating and the Energy White Paper

The boilers for these models are an integral part of the stove built for maximum efficiency and longevity and are fully pressure tested. As with all our wood and multi-fuel burning models (except the LA range) we incorporate an airwash system which will ensure superb clean-burning and a clear view of the fire at all times regardless of what fuels are burnt. The reputation of our boiler models is unrivalled in the market place and we are widely considered to be the clear market leaders in this field.
