Default Re: Inbuilt wood heaters, do they really work?

A properly fitted and rated inbuilt can be on a par with a freestanding unit if everything is done properly.
I only have a small house (150sqm) and didn't want to use the valuable space taken up by a freestanding unit. Unfortunately the design of the house meant that any heater would have to go at one end (a central position is better) so I built a fireplace in one end wall and put in a Kent Evolution 6 inbuilt rated for around 200sqm. I installed ducting (no fan) in the ceiling to speed up the transfer of hot air from one end to the other (about 19m). That unit heats the whole house easily (it's on now!) and pretty quickly.
So inbuilts do work.
