Review of Broseley eVolution 26 boiler stove

Evolution 26 bunny boiler

James Harrison 3 months ago

Beautiful looking big beast. Was supposed to be the only stove rated for RHI payments when we bought it but it didn’t. We had to get a £600 meter installed on our wood pellet boiler so our readings weren’t including the Evo 26.

Was otherwise brilliant for years and would heat our water and do some central heating too. We have been careful with the wood we’ve used and had the chimney swept every year. Now the thing is bunged up with crest site and despite lots of chemicals and cleaning we can’t get it to work. May have to chuck it at this rate. What a waste of money.
