Woodchip Boilers: Sustainable Heat for Larger Systems
Woodchip boilers offer a robust and cost-effective heating solution, especially for properties with access to local timber resources. Though they require more space and handling than pellet systems, the long-term savings and environmental benefits are substantial.
Bigger Systems, Bigger Savings
Larger plantroom required due to fuel handling equipment
Lower running costs, especially with your own wood supply
Supports local forestry, boosting the regional economy
Fuel Source: Forest Residue
Woodchip is typically made from:
Thinning’s and offcuts from forestry
Smaller sections of trees unsuitable for lumber
A sustainable use of otherwise low-value biomass
Heavy-Duty Engineering
Woodchip boilers need:
Sweeping arm systems to agitate fuel
Large augers and motors for consistent feed
Higher upfront costs for smaller systems due to equipment scale
