A cost effective Solution
Woodfuel is a cost effective solution to heating, particularly
in areas off the gas-grid. Businesses who have installed woodfuel
system have made substantial savings (see our case studies for some
examples). The capital cost of the system is more costly than gas
or oil boilers - small woodfuel boiler installations can cost
around 1.5-2 times more than conventional systems and larger
systems 5-10 times as much. Cost savings come, instead, from
lower fuel costs. Grants and incentives are
available to support the capital costs and installations can
payback the investment within just a few
years.
