Biomass is organic matter of recent origin. It doesn't include fossil fuels, which have taken millions of years to evolve. The CO2 released when energy is generated from biomass is balanced by that absorbed during the fuel's production. We call this a carbon neutral process. - Quoted EST.
Can you combine a biomass boiler with a solar panel?
A Solar Hot Water Panel can easily be integrated with your biomass boiler so when there is not enough solar energy to heat the water the boiler will automatically kick in.
How big is the Boiler? Where will it go?
Your biomass boiler can be fitted in the same position as your current boiler, depending on space. A biomass boiler that would heat a 2 to 3 bedroom house or a commercial unit up to 3000sq ft would fit in a 5ft L x 4ft H x 2.5FT W space.
Please see our installation page for installation costs.
How much fuel will it use?
It is virtually impossible to predict how much fuel it will need, this would depend on how often you use it, how large your property and how heat you like it, but typically the same boiler as above will use 25kg per day (this is an estimate).
Does it need a lot of maintenance?
Maintenance is easy due to the high efficiency of the boiler. The boiler produces 1-2% ash, which is an organic, free fertiliser that can be easily spread on your garden. You would need to check the ash every couple of weeks.
How is it operated?
The boilers are electronically controlled so after our friendly technicians install your boiler we will set the control panel to your particular application allowing your boiler to be automatically controlled by a timer in your home or office.
