We are planning a new build and would like to have a wood-burning stove because we have quite large supplies of firewood. The "standard" underfloor heating will be powered by a heat pump (air-source or geothermal). The electricity for this will be generated by our own photovoltaic system. In new, well-insulated houses, a traditional wood stove mainly serves an aesthetic purpose, as energy savings are practically negligible. Now, the idea of a water-heating stove came up. Especially in winter, on cloudy days when the photovoltaic system doesn’t produce enough energy, this stove could be used to heat both water and the heating system. Does anyone have experience with this kind of system, or is it nonsense?
