Wetbacks & Boilers

“Home is where the hearth is. Our homes are an oasis in the modern world, and a reliable home heating system is an integral part of creating a truly comfortable home. Hydronic heating is one of the best ways to make your home as inviting as possible.” – Wiseliving.

Wetback: A wetback is a water-heating system connected to a wood-burning stove or heater. It harnesses the excess heat from the fire to warm water for household use, making it an energy-efficient solution for both space and water heating. Perfect for off-grid living, a wetback reduces reliance on electric water heating and integrates seamlessly with wood heating setups.

Wood Heating Boilers: Wood-fired boilers are an efficient option for heating your home and water. By burning wood, these boilers transfer heat to water, which is then circulated via radiators or underfloor systems. Ideal for off-grid living, they offer consistent heating without dependence on electricity, lowering energy costs while providing sustainable warmth year-round.

Not all wood heaters or cookers are ready with a wetback adaption, but you can see our options listed below.
