State of Confusion
Hello All,
New to the boiler room forum.
I have a basement fireplace that I'd like to install a wood burning system that would tie into the existing ducts. However I don't know where to begin regarding the subject.Can anyone point me in the right direction?
thank you
 
Look up wood furnace. There are many to choose from.
 
ok, thank you.
Now that I look into this I find what I am looking at would be a large contraption that would sit in front of the basement fireplace and use it as a flue thus rendering the area as an extension to the mechanical room that sits right next to it. I hope I can wall it off and hide it. Wow, what a project.

Check out hydronic wood burning stoves. My system is in the basement as well. My stove is surrounded by water lines, those lines heat up and pump the water up into a coil in my air duct supply line, the heat is transferred to the air thus heating the entire house.
 
I came across this particular system at : http://www.rohor.com
very heavy duty system.
I need a system to condition roughly 4000 sq. ft. with the ability to handle hot water also.

I was thinking that just the heat from the system would put heat in the ducts, and use hot water lines for the hot water. Since this is a relative new concept to me right now, I'm just now learning about these types of heating systems. Thank you for your feedback.
 
what do you guys think about the ROHOR system in the link I posted above?
