Types of boiler available
Alternative systems
Wood burning / Biomass
Biomass is a process by which organic matter undergoes combustion to release heat into the atmosphere. Where small scale domestic heating applications are concerned, the biomass fuel usually takes the form of solid wood pellets, chips or logs, which are used to run biomass boiler or stand alone stove. These can fuel central heating radiators and water heating systems.
Advantages
- Ash deposit can be used as a fertiliser.
- Biomass systems can have automatic fuel feed and ignition and can be controlled using thermostats and timers.
Disadvantages
- Biomass boilers are large, so the property must have adequate space. Additional space is required to store the wood pellets, chips or logs and there must be appropriate access for loading and fuel deliveries.
- The flue installed must be specifically designed for a biomass boiler.
- Smokeless zones exist in the UK; wood can only be burned in exempted appliances, under the Clean Air Act.
- If a building is listed or is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, then the Local Authority Planning Department must be consulted before a flue is fitted.
- More labour intensive as the boilers will require de-ashing.
