Hot air distribution
We've just had a wood burning stove put in and very good it is too. We're beginning to get the hang of economical combustion. However what we would like to do is to distribute some of the heat around the house. I remember seeing on INEBG that they installed some ducting that took the heat from near the ceiling and distributed it via a heat exchanger round the house. Trouble is I can't think what this system is called so I can't do a search for it. Anyone any ideas please?

He has a shop on www.ecoark.co.uk, also if you just google Dick Strawbridge, he has a website. You may be able to contact him via this, wonder why the inebg website just goes onto his house for sale site.

Re: Hot air distribution
That's exactly what I was thinking of making. The one I saw on INEBG had a heat exchanger in the circuit. The only thing I was worried about was the possibility of sound from the lounge travelling along the tubing to the other rooms.marshlander wrote:No much help as it's an au website but is this the kind of thing? http://www.homeefficiencygroup.com.au/D ... fault.aspx

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.
