Log boilers burn seasoned wood logs to generate heat for your central heating system and hot water. Unlike automatic systems, log boilers require manual loading of logs into the combustion chamber, making them ideal for those who enjoy the hands-on aspect of wood burning and have a reliable supply of quality seasoned logs.
The robust, simple design with few moving parts ensures reliable operation and quiet running. Modern log boilers are highly efficient at burning wood, extracting maximum heat from your fuel while minimising emissions through advanced combustion technology.
What makes log boilers an excellent choice is their ability to utilise locally sourced wood fuel, often the most cost-effective biomass option if you have access to your own wood supply. The systems are carbon-neutral and provide the satisfaction of using a truly renewable, sustainable heating source.
What is a log boiler and how does it work?
A log boiler burns seasoned wood logs to provide heating and hot water for your home. Unlike automatic pellet systems, log boilers require manual loading of logs into the combustion chamber. The robust design with few moving parts ensures reliable, quiet operation while advanced combustion technology maximises efficiency and minimises emissions.
Are log boilers suitable for my property?
Log boilers are ideal for properties with access to seasoned wood supplies and adequate storage space for logs. They suit those who don’t mind the manual aspect of loading logs and want to utilise locally sourced or own wood supplies for cost-effective heating.
What type of wood should I use?
Seasoned hardwood logs with moisture content below 20% provide the best efficiency and lowest emissions. We provide guidance on wood selection, seasoning, and storage to ensure optimal performance from your log boiler system.
How much wood storage space do I need?
Storage requirements depend on your heating needs and wood supply arrangements. Typically, you’ll need space for at least a year’s supply of logs, kept dry and well-ventilated. We assess your storage options during our site survey.
Can log boilers be installed inside or outside?
We offer both internal and external installation options. External installations can save internal space, while internal installations may offer better protection from weather and easier access for loading. We’ll recommend the best option for your property.
How often do I need to load logs?
Loading frequency depends on the boiler size, heat demand, and outside temperature. Typically, you might need to load logs once or twice daily during peak heating season. Many modern log boilers have large combustion chambers to extend burning times.
