A biomass boiler could save you a small fortune on your heating bills as the system burns a renewable product, rather than relying on National Grid gas and electricity. <\/p>\n
As grid prices continue to rise, the annual household bill is increasing substantially. <\/p>\n
In fact, since 2004 your bill would have doubled and by 2020 you can expect prices to have doubled again. That\u2019s why choosing a biomass boiler is one of the best things you can do to control spending.<\/p>\n
So to get you prepared for biomass, we answer five of the most asked questions:<\/p>\n
They are plenty of styles available for you to consider and really the only differences are with the size and the fuel used. For example, you could choose a log, pellet or wood chip boiler. Of course, each will have its own pros and cons and by speaking to experts in the industry you\u2019ll be able to get a better understanding. <\/p>\n
Heat loads for homes ranges between 10kW and 45kW. For these, a pellet boiler is best. Of course, with the Renewable Heat Incentive attached, not only will you save, but earn through Government payments too. <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re already thinking about a biomass boiler then the chances are you have received the correct planning permission so this is a great start. Although there are options to have the boiler inside, giving the aesthetic appeal of a real fire, realistically you\u2019ll need a dedicated space elsewhere. <\/p>\n
With a biomass boiler you\u2019ll have a reliable heating source that\u2019ll work throughout the year. There are a few things to check out when you invest though, such as the manufacturer. <\/p>\n
You want a manufacturer who has been in the industry for a number of years with plenty of success. You also want to distinguish between an automatic fed boiler and a hand-fed one. Obviously an automatic system would be easier, but could be more expensive too. <\/p>\n
This will come down to the boiler you choose, but mostly you\u2019ll buy the fuel when you need it. Typically it\u2019ll come in large portions of 10-15kg so a few of these will keep you going for a week. <\/p>\n
A 40kg boiler would work well for a few days whilst a 150kg boiler could last a week before needing to be refilled. <\/p>\n
Realistically you\u2019ll want to keep your existing controls because this will mean your plumbing won\u2019t be reconnected. Of course, sometimes you\u2019ll need extra controls to help with maximising efficiency, but all of this will be explained by your installer. <\/p>\n
