How it works
- The Ecogen is a regular boiler that contains a Stirling engine. The gas burner fires up the Stirling engine which moves a piston inside a ring of magnets to generate electricity. This is very similar to how a car alternator works.
- Generates significant amounts of low carbon electricity.
- Cost effective energy efficiency device.
Considerations
- Current technology suited to larger homes, however smaller homes could be accommodated providing it has an attached garage or other suitable installation location.
- You will need a load bearing wall to install the Ecogen boiler.
- The Ecogen needs to be installed on the ground floor and cannot be installed above kitchen units.
