Various types of boiler stoves are available these days, but the function of every machine is exactly same. However, the heat output of boiler stoves vary according to their size and not every boiler is able to heat the rooms equally. Choosing the right size of multifuel boiler stove depends on what you want to heat. A boiler stove is a heating appliance that burns wood or other fuels to create hot water, which is thereafter piped to anywhere for domestic heating. If you wish to heat your house, you need to do the math before going for the boiler stove.

How to work out the size?

First thing first, you have to ascertain the size of the room or the house that you want to be heated. There is no point of having a stove that has a very large output of heat for a smaller room and vice versa. Having a general estimate of the measurements will help in knowing what size of boiler can be perfect for the job. You can calculate it via the following ways:

In Feet

In case you want to heat a particular room, take three measurements – length(l), height(b), and width(w). Multiply lxhxw and what you get is the total volume of the room. The next step is to figure out the BTU or British Thermal Unit. This can be calculated by multiplying the volume of the room with 5/6/7.

Deciding the constraint is based on the following logic:

5 if your room has average numbers of doors and windows and average insulation6 if the room has more than average number of doors and windows and below-average insulation7 if the room has a high amount of doors and windows and is not/poorly insulated

The BTU obtained after multiplying the volume with the constraint must be then divided by 3411.8, which will give you the required kW.

In Meters

Take the similar three measurements as we did in the previous case and multiply them to calculate the volume of the room. Divide the result (lxhxw) by 10/14/25.

Deciding whether to divide it by 10/14/25 must be based on the following:

10 if your room has average numbers of doors and windows and average insulation14 if the room has more than average number of doors and windows and below-average insulation25 if the room has a high amount of doors and windows and is not/poorly insulated

The result obtained gives the minimum amount of kW, the stove of which capacity you need to heat the room.
