Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our new build and want to keep the option open to install a wood-burning stove later that can support the hot water supply.
Our heating system (gas condensing boiler and solar thermal system with a 300L (79 gallon) storage tank) will be located in the attic, and the wood stove would be installed in the living room on the ground floor. A ventilation system with heat recovery will also be placed in the attic, with the ventilation ducts running in a separate shaft next to the chimney.
What can I do now to at least prepare for the future installation of a wood stove with water heating?
- Are there empty conduits or sleeves that I could install now?
- An access panel behind the intended stove location?

Are there any disadvantages to using a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery and a gas condensing boiler in the attic?

Except in the case of a leak and storage installation effort, not that I know of. Have you ever heard of a basin beneath the hot water storage tank...?
I often notice that people draw conclusions from their own construction project to every other one; in other words: trying to present amateur experience as universally valid.
