Biomass, Wood Pellet, Solar Panel Heating And Wood Burning Central Heating Systems

With gas and oil prices continuing to rise, alternative heating solutions such as wood pellet boilers, and solar panels along with other forms of wood and biomass heating, are becoming increasingly important alternative heating sources in the UK. These relatively new technologies to the UK not only offer cost effective methods of heating your home but also offer provide environmental benefits as they provide a virtually carbon neutral solution to heating your home.

We supply the most up to date products in pellet boiler heating and solar panel technology along with our own wood burning stoves capable of being used on a pressurised heating system, compared to the conventional open vented systems.

Environmetal Benefits Of Wood Pellets
Wood pellets are almost carbon neutral. As a tree grows it absorbs carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. When wood is burnt, that CO2 is released back into the atmosphere.

This is known as a closed carbon cycle as no new stores of CO2 are being released. When used to generate heat wood pellets are typically 85% efficient

Other emissions from wood, such as phosphorous and potassium, are low and are left in the small quantities of ash which can be used as fertiliser.

However, when wood is burned to generate heat or electricity, it displaces fossil fuels, which prevents additional CO2 being released into the atmosphere.

The wood pellet industry also encourages the growth of sustainably managed forests. These improve the level of light reaching the forest floor, which enhances the diversity of plants and animals at ground level.

Sustainably managed forests also prevent a build up of the decaying plant matter that would otherwise release methane – another major greenhouse gas – into the atmosphere.
