Broseley 30B

Please can someone advise? The Broseley gives lots of heat to the room but not to the heating or water. Has anyone else had this problem? Fitted by Hetas fitters and they say not problem with the way it's plumbed up.

Stove expert replied: Does the stove appear to be working well or burning hard and not very controllable? If the flue has a strong draw then it could be that much of the heat is going up the flue rather than into the water. Needs further investigation.
