Why are biomass boilers more expensive than conventional boilers?
Highly-efficient modern biomass boilers have more complex controls and function differently from conventional boilers – they cost more to produce. On the other hand, your woodfuel boiler will last much longer than a conventional boiler (25 – 30 years rather than 5 – 10). Some suppliers will give a price for the boiler alone, but then you have to add on the accumulator tank and other essential components, and labour. We will give you a ballpark idea of what your total installation cost is likely to be right from the outset, followed by an individual quotation when we have more details about your home and your heating needs. Grants are available to individuals and businesses to encourage investment in sustainable technologies.
