In most cases payback periods range from 4 – 10 years with NIE now paying 7.4 pence per unit exported and a saving of 16.8 pence for every unit of your own energy used. In addition a further 3.8 pence per unit is paid which is awarded by Ofgem the electricity regulator.
With fuel poverty on the rise due to the price of oil and gas is no surprise that people are moving away from fossil fuels and changing to biomass. Wood pellet/chip and log heating systems are certainly not new and have been developed in mainland Europe to very high standards. A typical wood burning system is 95% efficient, that’s approx 10% more than oil and gas systems and it is possible to produce 1kilowatt of heat for 2.7 pence with wood pellets compared to 5.4 pence with oil. That’s 50% saving.
What’s more wood is produced locally and not susceptible to the oil and gas price hikes we are all so used to.
Solar power like wind is completely renewable and once the technology is installed it will work away with out any intervention. Solar panels can produce up to 70% of a households hot water needs saving up to £500 per year. It’s a myth that if the water is not boiling then it’s not working. Panels work even on a dull day taken energy from the sun and using it to take the chill of the water in your hot water tank leaving less work for your boiler to do.
We also do ground and air source heat pumps, water turbines and energy consultation work for homes and businesses.
