Biomass Heating

Biomass heating systems use a variety of carbon neutral wood based products to provide space heating and/or hot water.

Fuel can be logs, chips and pellets (made from compressed sawdust/woodwaste).

Biomass can be used in both residential & commercial applications. This system does not create harmful emissions and is extremely economical.

True Energy’s Biomass systems can work side-by-side with your original space/water heating system to ensure heat/hot water is always available from the most cost effective route, they can also be linked in with Solar Thermal systems. We supply and install wood and pellet boilers to heat the water for these systems. Pellet boilers can run largely unsupervised.

From April 2011 the government plans to make annual payments for Biomass under the Renewable Heat Incentive, these payments could amount to £2500 p.a. for a 4 bed detached house. In addition some local authorities provide additional grants or interest free loans.

To get these grants and incentives you need to use an MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certified installer as provided by True Energy. The steps you need to take are as follows:-

• Contact True Energy for a free consultation regarding your requirements
• Check with your local authority for grants/interest free loans they provide e.g. Powys currently provide up to £3000 interest free loans for installing some renewable technologies. If you need to create a new outbuilding to house the boiler you may also require planning permission so in this case you should also check this with your local authority.
• You are now ready to go ahead with your installation.
• Later you will need to apply for your Renewable Heat Incentive which is payable from April 2011
