|
Fitters arrived at 8am as they said they would and fitting went smoothly. It needs to burn all day today to cure and I can feel the room getting toastier already. Its a Woodwarm inset one if you're interested
That's another project crossed off the list!  |

How long have you had a floor in that room? I thought it was held together with furniture, books, papers and magazines.... |

I wouln't have said that big, but it is large, and there's patio doors on one wall. Sensible place to have them really; they'd look odd in the middle of the room.
Oh, and you forgot to mention it's L shaped. |

Ours puts out 5kW and we went through last winter with no other heating and without any problems. Depends a bit on the layout and insulation of your house though. |

Ah that's good - We've got a 3kw heater (well 3 to room, 3 to water) on order at the moment and I had a sudden panic its not going to be big enough - our room is about half that size |

Do you remember my front room, Jo? That's about 5m square, with a lot of glass for one wall. My stove's 4.5 (I think) and it's way more than enough. |

Yes I do remember your front room - Our dining room is about the same size as that so I suspect the 3kw will be sufficient - just have a mild panic - we've got a 2.5kw calor gas heater in there at the moment and even with the potiential for heat to disappear straight up the currently open chimney - it heats the whole house nice and toasty |

I knew I wasn't good at measurements perhaps its more like 25ft X15ft at widest narrowing down to say 10ft at the back.
House is only 14 years old so insulation up to date inc cavity wall. |
