Hello,
...or the all-in-one solution...
We are looking for a stylish (soapstone) stove for our new build, which is still in the planning stage and has not yet started construction. The stove should help to warm up the thermal storage tank.
The location will be centrally in the living room, which is just under 40 m² (430 sq ft), connected to an open kitchen of 13 m² (140 sq ft) and a playroom/guest room with a large sliding door, also nearly 13 m² (140 sq ft).
We are interested in the Tuliviki Hiisi 4 with the W10 water heat exchanger system connected to a thermal storage tank, combined with solar thermal collectors and a gas boiler. The approximate living area is 230 m² (2,480 sq ft).
Have you had any experience with water-heated soapstone stoves?
Best regards,
Barossi

Hello again
I have not installed a soapstone stove with water heating before, but here are some thoughts:
In a new build with good insulation and a slow-acting underfloor heating system, I don’t think a heat source that adds a significant amount of heat to the living room is beneficial.
If you plan to use the stove regularly, I would consider giving up the gas heating. For winter vacations, possibly an electric heating element. Or maybe a pellet stove!?

Hello,
I also considered using a heat exchanger in the chimney. But then this thought came up: What if the power goes out and the pump can’t remove the heat from the chimney/heating circuit? Then you have no electricity and can’t even use the good old chimney, leaving you completely in the cold…
