Biomass Boilers

Eco-Link has the expertise to harness all the requirements necessary in order to provide a comprehensive service starting with the design, progressing with the engineering and specialist installation to produce a functioning biomass boiler. This is backed up by the after-care department, which in the unlikely event of a problem is supported by a highly qualified team of maintenance engineers. Contact us now for a competitive quote. Why not check out our case studies, we've worked with Sainsbury's, Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester and many more.

What is Biomass energy?

Biomass comes from plant sources. Its not as new as perhaps people assume and before fossil fuels became the norm many people used a 'biomass' fuel. Biomass sources include those of crops, grass and some woody plants. Also the remainders of substances from farming or forestry can be used. Animal waste can also be used in a biomass boilers

Eco Link prides itself on the ability to provide a complete service. Our specialist fleet of designers, engineers and installers understand what is required and are able to appreciate the unique requirements of any project. This comprehensive service begins with the design and ends with an installation that is fully functional and maintained by our unique maintenance contracts. Eco Link offer a first class aftercare service that where we handle any unlikely problems should they arise.

Local councils are encouraging architects to suggest the installation of a biomass boiler when they are designing new properties. This will then help towards their renewable energy targets. The joy of not being reliant on the utility companies with the threats of ever increasing charges will surely be a bonus. Biomass boilers can also be installed in existing properties and can be used to replace a gas or oil boilers.

The theory behind biomass energy is simple and straightforward. In fact, it's as old as the trees. Any person who has been camping and built a fire over which the food is cooked (or burnt) understands the principle. Twigs and branches and even dry grass are used as a base to start the fire and as it starts to burn and intensifies it then generates more heat - then more twigs and small branches are added in order to sustain the fire which gets larger. There are now many other natural items which can also be used to expand the scope from the original camp fire. Manure, which is often spread on fields as a natural fertiliser is a great contributor towards greener energy and can also assist the agricultural community with a positive way of reducing the straw and manure mountain which is in evidence on every farm.

This renewable energy source has a carbon neutral footprint which assists in the war against global warming. Not only is this sustainable energy easily accessible it provides many jobs within a rural environment which benefits the local economy. Those customers who choose to have a biomass boiler will find their heating costs are considerably reduced. Whether they are customers from the private or public sector, large or small company, the savings on purely a financial level is worth investigating. Obviously the cost implications are different in every case and depend on many factors.

Burning biomass fuels is more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. But Why? It is due to that when organic waste (biomass fuels) is burnt the result is carbon neutral. This means that as plants are trees remove C02 from the environment when they grow, they release the same amount of CO2 when they decompose or are burnt for fuel. Fossil fuels however release high levels of CO2 when they burn as we all know causes global warming.The carbon dioxide cycle used to be stable for the world's atmosphere. However in the past two centuries, CO2 levels in the atmosphere have risen dramatically.

Active and careful management of woodland and forests for the production of wood fuel ensures their survival and helps to create a diversity of habitats for plants and animals. Farmland is being converted to less-intensive energy crop production, further improving the environment.

The attraction of totally clean energy is becoming more evident all the time. Even those sceptics who are not swayed by the arguments of global warning can agree that a new sustainable and cleaner way of doing things is desirable. The fear is though, that any move to cleaner energy will involve lots of sacrifices, which, is quite the contrary. Eco Link can provide solutions that are practical and adaptable to current equipment and circumstances.
