Why Edinburgh Homeowners Are Turning to Biomass
Why Edinburgh Homeowners Are Turning to Biomas
Across the capital, more homeowners are seeking alternatives to gas. Biomass boilers provide reliable, renewable heating using wood pellets or chips. We like them because they combine modern efficiency with traditional comfort.
How Biomass Heating Work
A biomass boiler burns compressed wood pellets or logs to generate heat for central heating and hot water. The fuel is carbon-neutral since trees absorb as much carbon during growth as they release when burned. When installed correctly, efficiency can exceed ninety percent.
The Installation Journe
When we plan a biomass installation, we start with a property assessment. We review your existing heating system, space for a hopper, and fuel storage. In Edinburgh’s terraced homes, we often design compact solutions. Larger rural properties may benefit from an automatic feed system.
Our team handles the full project, from flue installation to commissioning. We also connect you with local fuel suppliers, ensuring your system runs smoothly from day one.
Long-Term Benefit
Biomass boilers can cut heating bills by up to thirty percent compared to oil systems. They are also compatible with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and similar grants. The warmth they deliver feels natural and consistent, creating that cosy atmosphere we all want at home.
