Wood Pellet Stoves, Renewable Biomass Heating

Wood pellet stoves can be used in both the commercial and domestic sectors but are limited in capacity. The maximum heating output range for a pellet stove can vary from 4-24kW dependent on manufacturer and model.

The Options:

There are two main types of pellet stoves;

The first is a room heater pellet stove which will simply heat the room that it is installed in.
The second is a hydro pellet stove which has the capability to provide heating and hot water to a building.

Standard pellet stoves do not receive MCS accreditation whereas the hydro pellet stoves are eligible. This is dependent however on a Green Deal Assessment (GDA) being carried out at the dwelling.

Our Solutions:

Wood Pellet Stoves are ideal for domestic properties with existing chimney stacks or for dwellings and businesses with smaller heat loads. They are bag loaded, usually from the top of the stove so this will need to be taken into consideration if using an existing fire place.

The manufacturers of pellet stoves we install are:

MCZ Red Standard or hydro pellet stoves
Extraflame Standard or hydro pellet stoves

How much can you earn?

Hydro pellet stoves are also eligible for both the Domestic and Commercial RHI. In the case of the domestic this is subject to a Green Deal Assessment (GDA). With the Commercial there is the potential to be paid 7.6p/kWh (October 2014) for twenty years.

Take a look at our RHI Calculator to find out exactly how much you could earn from the Renewable Heat Incentive.

Fuel Costs:

Typically the cost for a tonne of bagged wood pellets is £260, this can vary between wood pellet suppliers. A tonne of pellets has 4800kWh of thermal energy.
