Why biomass heating is the right choice for your home

If you’re thinking about making the move away from traditional fossil fuels towards a more sustainable type of fuel to heat your home and water, then biomass might be the solution you’re looking for. We offer wood pellet delivery direct to yor

Wood pellet burners and heating systems use compressed organic matter to create heat and energy that can be used both at a domestic and commercial level. The wood is very dense and has a low moisture content – under 10% – meaning it’s incredibly efficient, producing a large amount of heat. As it comes from renewable sources, it’s also a better option if you want to move away from depleted and damaging fossil fuel stocks.

Biomass heating is also very affordable, and once you’ve made the initial outlay to convert your system to biomass, you can really start to make some savings. In addition, thanks to the Renewable Heat Incentive, you may even be able to claim some assistance from the government to help you reduce the cost of making the change.

There is little doubt that biomass is also a low carbon option. The amount of CO2 released during burning is roughly equivalent to that which the plant or tree absorbed during its years growing. So, it is more or less neutral. Also, the increased market for biomass fuels means that suppliers are now planting many more trees to try and keep up with demand. More trees means more carbon absorbed and a healthier planet. If your fuel or pellets are sourced locally, then this is even better.

With reduced costs, financial assistance available and a lower carbon footprint, it’s perhaps not surprising that more and more people are making the switch to biomass. And you could be amongst them.
