Size a stove to the room, not to the catalogue’s maximum output, and ask about the flue as well as the stove: most problems are flue problems. If the stove will heat water or radiators, ask for the system design in writing.
Questions to ask before you sign
- What output do you recommend for the room?
- Is the flue kit included, and how high will it go?
- Can it heat water or radiators?
- Who services it, and how often?
