Rising heating costs have been a source of concern among property owners. This concern has created a demand for an affordable alternative, which is why many are looking to alternative heating products such as biomass boilers as a viable solution.
What are Biomass Boilers?
Biomass boilers function by burning natural materials like chips, wooden pellets, logs, even cherry pits, and dried corn. Pellets have an even density and size, making them the most consistent biomass fuel. Pellets are the most user-friendly biomass fuel, but they cost the most. Most biomass boilers, including the Wood Gun, can be configured to feed the fire and remove the ash automatically. If you have access to biomass, this system can save you an immense amount of money and time!
Biomass Boilers are Highly Efficient
Studies have concluded that modern biomass systems have efficiency as high as ninety percent, which puts them on par with the top fossil fuel units. However, several factors determine efficiency besides the system itself, the moisture of the fuel, the quality of fuel, the type of unit, and the layout of your property. Biomass boilers have become popular because, unlike other technologies, they don’t waste heat or fuel, and you can dispose of the ashes easily. Furthermore, any CO2 the combustion process generates is minimal.
Biomass Boilers are Compatible with Existing Heating Systems
While a biomass boiler can replace current fossil fuels, they are also compatible with your existing heating systems. There are several ways to incorporate this into your existing system; give us a call or talk with your plumber about the best way to add a biomass boiler.
Biomass Boilers are Low Maintenance and Automated
Unlike traditional heating systems, biomass boilers don’t require much maintenance. While they will eventually need service, they are built to stand the test of time and can operate for years without issues. The only thing that will need to check periodically is the lubrication of the bearings and emptying its ashbin.
Biomass boilers are also automated, which means that they require very little input on the part of the user. In fact, the top models incorporate thermostatic control and an integrated filling system to add fuel precisely when needed.
Biomass Boilers Can Help Your Save Money
Every property owner wants their heating bill as low as possible in winter. The upfront cost for a biomass boiler can range from four to five figures, with manual systems being more affordable than fully automatic models. But aside from this, those that install these systems might be eligible for various government initiatives and benefits. Finally, the lower cost of biomass fuels will protect you and your family from mainstream energy price spikes and politics.
