In my ideal house there would be regular heating plus a wood heater. Wood heater for night when I want to put effort in and regular heating for the rest of the time. I want the mod cons and the cake.
We run the split system on the cold mornings when we're heading out for the day, then I light the fire when I get home. It warms the house up nicely, and is a great way to get clothes dry in front of. When I have a day off I'll keep it ticking over all day and it's lovely. It is a lot of work and mess though, and we are very lucky because we don't have to pay for good wood.
