I'm installing an indoor slow combustion woodheater in an old double brick house with lots of windows. It has no insulation and the walls are pure thermal mass so it soaks up a lot of cold in winter. Thankfully it really doesn't get that cold here. There's no practical way to add insulation to the walls and the windows are too large to reglaze at a reasonable price. It's not a large house, total floor area is about 950sq feet. I've chosen a large heater with plenty of reserve. The house is fairly open plan single story and has only 2 bedrooms. I'm wondering how I can get the heat from the living room to the main bedroom and was thinking of using vents/fans.
The idea was to put a floor vent on the side of the main bedroom furthest from the living room, and duct it in under the heater with a variable speed suction fan on the living room end. The idea being that with the suction on, the floor vent will pull all the cold air out of the bedroom into the living room and pull the heat through the house. Am I on the right path here?
