Yes please if you could email me details I would be grateful. Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Our house is 'newish' in French terms built in the early 1970's I think. Some insulation including some secondary double glazing. We are there for about 13 or so weeks a year usually including over Christmas and New Year so do need some serious heating at that time.

Hope someone on this thread can help! We returned to our house this summer to find the old oil boiler had finally given up the ghost (water everywhere) So here is my question: We were thinking of replacing our open fire with a more efficient woodburning stove. Should we go for one with a back burner and try to link it into the central heating system and if so what would this entail? Would we be better having a replacement oil boiler as well? What about cost which we (as always) need to keep to a minimum as this is an unexpected expense. ANY advice would be appreciated. We are back in the UK at the moment but would like to sort something out so that we do not freeze in the winter. Thanks in advance.
