Hi there,
We're thinking about getting a Boru 600i installed in an existing fireplace.
Does anyone have any experiences with these or Boru in general?
The existing fireplace surround will go, as it's made from wood, and stove may generate too much heat.
Does anyone have any experiences with this Stove, good/bad? Do they throw out a lot of heat in comparison to a stand alone stove, - we have a quite large area to heat. Some people seem to think inset stoves aren't so great.
Also, it's going into an existing fireplace, it all seems almost too straight forward, - it will apparently just require a flu kit connected to the chimney pot, and the existing fireplace opening will be widened slightly, and the stove raised several inches off the floor. He measured it all up, looked up the chimney etc and reckons its all good. Does this sound right? Is there anything wrt to the installation that i should be watching out for? House is approx 15 years old if that matters.
It would be installed by the stove vendor so I'd be a little concerned they might skimp on the installation somehow to get the sale, - I might be a bit over cautious in this regard though. The benefit I guess is at least we only deal with one party who takes responsibility, - no blaming the other guy.
Thanks for any info! We're a little freaked out as have read about a few horror stories with stoves now.
