We have rayburns, which are in use now. We have a coal/multifuel one in the kitchen – which is lit atm. We have an oil fired one which is at the far end of the house, which has recently been located so isn’t connected up but will run 12 rads, we have another oil fired one (not yet installed) in the herb room and we have a calor gas one in the bunkhouse.
The main one we use extensively in the winter. It runs 4 rads, currently, it’s only a small one, it would run up to 6. We burn wood mostly, but coal overnight, anthracite and doubles. It copes amply with the work expected. Previously the rayburn prior to this one provided all the hot water but no radiators, it had an immersion heater for the summer months. The house has had rayburns providing heat or water for over 60 years that I’m aware of.
However, we never run the rayburns in summer, it would literally be unbearable. Our house is on the rather large side and it gets far to hot in mild autumnal and spring days to have the rayburn lit, so we have found we do need alternate sources of heat/water. |
