hi there,

in a nut shell, i have a customer that (like most of us) is complaining about the price of oil and gas etc. he wants me to link a wood burning stove to his existing system so that in the winter months he can just stoke the fire up and leave it on all of the time. Come the warmer weather, he will turn the stove off and use his conventional gas boiler to heat the place up if needed.

the boiler is fully pumped on both the hot water and central heating, and this is where i'm getting confused and frustrated in designing a system that will work effectively.

i want to ensure that both boilers remain fully pumped, and that he can have simple controls over both, that are safe and fool proof, i.e. he wont be able to stoke the stove up without pumps running etc.

thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated. regards, Guy.
