Wood chip boilers are generally associated with larger commercial projects but do have applications in the domestic market.
Our Solutions:
Wood chip boilers require a dedicated boiler room to house the boiler, accumulator tank with expansion vessel and all necessary products to provide heating and hot water to most types of buildings. We currently specify two manufactures of wood chip boiler:
All products in our Wood Chip range are all fully automated and self cleaning systems, requiring as little maintenance as possible to the end user. Wood chips do take up a greater volume than wood pellets and are less dense so require a larger storage facility. Storage can vary from grain silos to dedicated wood chip stores.
The boilers also have the potential for weather compensated heating circuits through Lambda sensor technology. This results in the heating being determined by the external weather conditions and automatically adjusted accordingly.
What can you earn?
All wood chip boilers <45kW are MCS accredited for Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). This is dependent on a Green Deal Assessment (GDA) being carried out at the dwelling.
Our systems meet the new emissions certificates for the Commercial Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) applications allowing 7.6p (October 2014) to be claimed for every kWh used by the heating solution.
Take a look at our RHI Calculator to find out exactly how much you could earn from the Renewable Heat Incentive.
Fuel Costs:
Wood chips are typically around £180-200/tonne dependent on quantity ordered.
For clients who generate their own supply of wood chips, extensive fuel records would need to be kept for RHI payments.
