Hi all, looking for opinions, I asked over on plumbing and heating but this might be a better section for my question.

We're in the process of building a new house which will be A Rated with air to water heating.

Thanks

Thanks guys, definitely a small one but I was just wondering in general if people with a rated homes get much use out of their stoves?
