Alternative Heating

To help combat our dependency on oil, alternative heating systems are now available to aid the quest to heat our homes with out the use of oil. Wood is a renewable source of energy because the carbon dioxide emitted when the wood is burned has been taken out of the atmosphere by the growing plant. Even allowing for emissions of fossil carbon dioxide in planting, harvesting, processing and transporting the fuel, replacing fossil fuel with wood fuel will typically reduce net CO2 emissions by up to 90%.

Wood Pellets

Wood pellet boilers are fully automatic just like oil or gas boilers. Wood pellet boilers are becoming very popular as more homeowners are now switching from burning fossil fuels to a more eco-friendly and very cost effective alternative. This ensures extremely high efficiencies of up to 90% with very low emissions. Changing over your existing oil boiler and installing a wood pellet boiler is now a seamless operation. There is no supervision of equipment required, although the wood pellet burner may need to be cleaned approximately once a month.

Investment

While the Irish market is only getting started, wood pellet boilers are now growing at a rapid rate. Now may be the perfect opportunity to install a wood pellet boiler and will be a very good investment long term.
Your home is one of your biggest investments. Choosing the correct central heating system for your home is an important decision to make. Factors to consider are efficiency, controllability and most important running costs all of will have to be take into consideration. Another factor worth considering is the Eco-friendly effect the appliance will have on the environment.

Quality

A quality central heating system must contain the most energy-efficient heating technologies available. This type of installation will cost more to install but in the long run it will save you money on your fuel bills. Now may be the perfect opportunity to install a wood pellet boiler and will be a very good investment long term.

Grants

If you are considering changing over you oil central heating system the good new is that there is a Government grant now available of up to € 4200.00. As from March 27th 2006 onwards grants are now available towards the cost of the product but not the installation cost.

To avail of this offer you must use an approved Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) product. To install the product a registered (SEI) contractor must be used to carry out the installation.
