Biomass boiler. Advice sought

[Lightspeed]

Wow, time flies.

last update in June, and its taken until yesterday ( Mid October) for us to get the new heating system commissioned.

And the beast is living up to expectations.

Although current weather conditions are mild 9C the newly installed radiator system has already transformed living conditions in the house.

We are very satisfied with it, and indications are that it will both deal well with our extreme climatic conditions, and at the same time be fairly economic to run. ( Estimates are around £500 per year to heat our just under 2000 sq ft, of solid walled croft-like house)

This system is totally dependent on mains electric power to run processor and pumps. For short tem back-up, we'll be looking to install a petrol genny in the near future.

For long term back-up our existing wood burners will remain in place ( Forever!!!)

We'll update again after the system has been running a while and after its got through first engagement with truly cold conditions.

Indications at this early stage are that its brilliantly efficient, and satisfies our need for greater energy independence.
