Wood chip boilers burn locally sourced wood chips to generate heat for your central heating system and hot water. The fully automatic feed systems transport wood chips from bulk storage into the combustion chamber, where they burn cleanly and efficiently with minimal operator intervention.
Modern wood chip boilers can achieve efficiency ratings of up to 92%, making them highly cost-effective for large-scale applications. The automated systems are designed for continuous operation, perfect for commercial properties, farms, and industrial facilities with high heat demands.
What makes wood chip boilers an excellent choice is their use of readily available local fuel sources and carbon-neutral credentials – the CO2 released during burning is offset by the CO2 absorbed during the tree’s growth. Wood chip is particularly abundant in the South-East of England, ensuring reliable fuel supply.
What is a wood chip boiler and how does it work?
A wood chip boiler burns locally sourced wood chips to provide heating and hot water for large properties. Wood chips are automatically transported from bulk storage into the combustion chamber via conveyor or auger systems, where they burn efficiently to heat water that circulates through your heating system. The fully automatic operation requires minimal daily intervention.
Are wood chip boilers suitable for all properties?
Wood chip boilers tend to be best suited for large commercial installations, farms, industrial units, and properties with high heat loads. The systems require space for bulk fuel storage and handling equipment, making them ideal for larger-scale applications rather than typical domestic properties.
What type of wood chip fuel should I use?
Modern wood chip boilers can achieve efficiency ratings of up to 92%, providing excellent cost-effectiveness for high-demand heating applications. Efficiency depends significantly on the quality and moisture content of the wood chip fuel.
How efficient are wood chip boilers?
The efficiency of wood chip boilers depends heavily on fuel quality. Good quality, dry, seasoned wood chip with low moisture content is crucial for efficient operation. We provide guidance on sourcing appropriate fuel from local suppliers in the South-East.
How much space do I need for wood chip storage?
Wood chip systems require substantial storage space for bulk fuel delivery and automated handling equipment. We assess your site during our survey to design appropriate storage and handling solutions tailored to your consumption needs.
What maintenance do wood chip boilers require?
Regular maintenance includes ash removal, system cleaning, and annual servicing. The automated systems are designed for minimal intervention, but professional maintenance is essential for optimal performance. We provide comprehensive maintenance packages regardless of who installed your system.
