Hi Phil,

Heat transfer systems can be great to at least break the cold in other parts of the house but do require the log burner to have reasonable capacity. If your folke have been running theirs to heat, but not overheat, their lounge they will need to burn more wood to create more heat for the other rooms – you don’t get nothing for nothing. However, if their log burner is of a modest size (12-14 kW) it may be pushed to generate enough surplus. Having said that its a modest investment and a realtively straight forward DIY if they have a dilligest and attentive son to carry out the installation! [Don’t forget to ensure the ducting is well insulated]

Cheers, Norman
