Biomass boilers<\/a> offer a solution to avoid paying expensive National Grid energy rates, and with a host of cash incentives and saving potential, biomass is well worth the investment.<\/p>\n

Biomass boilers burn wood pellets to power a home\u2019s central heating, removing the need to pay out for pricey gas, electricity or oil. The system is capable of providing both your space and hot water heating too, so savings will be significant.<\/p>\n

Your savings and earnings with a biomass boiler<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a range of Government incentives available for those considering biomass as a suitable heating option.
\n
\nFirst off there is the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) grant, helping you with the investment cost of a biomass boiler<\/a>. The grant offers \u00a32,000 for those purchasing a new system.<\/p>\n

Then there is the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), a scheme aimed at incentivising renewables by paying out for each unit of environmentally friendly heat generated. The RHI will be paid for seven years at a rate of 12.2p\/kWh for biomass boilers. And experts predict this will see homeowners earning over \u00a3400 every year.<\/p>\n

And on top both of these, there are the savings you\u2019ll make by replacing your heating fuel. Homes currently using LPG or electric heating can make the greatest savings, but those on the gas grid can see a decent level of savings too.
