Used biomass boilers with RHI tariff left on them
We are always being offered used biomass boilers with RHI tariffs left on them. Sometimes the boiler itself is no good, but you can change the boiler and keep the tariff, so we quite often have old log boilers or poor quality pellet boilers offered to us to sell on the owner’s behalf. The price reflects the usefulness of the boiler and the remaining tariff. Many go for the price of one year’s RHI return if the boiler is no good, better boilers will be more because of the residual value of the boiler itself. Please take a look at our Offers page for boilers that are currently available. Some pay for themselves in as little as two years.
The current situation with biomass
We are in a period where biomass chip is still at a stable price, depending on whether you make your own chip or buy it from a supplier, the cost can be from free to 8p/kW, depending upon the haulage costs. Similarly, log prices have remained stable. Pellet is still higher than its ever been, at anything up to 12p/kW. It’s blamed on the conflict in Ukraine. Hopefully this will rationalise shortly and come down. Some boilers can be converted to run on chip and we have been asked by several clients to make the conversion for them.

Zero emission wood chip boiler
Windhager biomass boilers
We now supply, install and maintain zero emission wood chip biomass boilers manufactured by Windhager. The PuroWIN is the cleanest wood chip boiler in the world, with virtually undetectable emissions. This is due to a very well thought-out design. The word ‘innovative’ is too often used to describe the mundane and the ordinary by advertising executives searching for a superlative, without actually considering the meaning of the word. Windhager have developed a combustion chamber unlike any we have seen in conventional biomass boilers… read more
Want to do your bit to avert climate change? Switch to wood fuelled heat. Good quality biomass boilers are clean burning and output far less carbon dioxide than any other commonly used heating appliances. Electrostatic precipitation and clever burning techniques keep air quality pristine. Low in particulate matter, low in carbon dioxide emissions, low in NOX emissions. Biomass is clean and green.
Think you’re saving the planet with a heat pump? Look at the facts — assuming you’re in an old house trying to make an air source heat pump perform with oversized radiators, your CoP is likely to be around 3:1 at best, meaning that for every 3kWh of heat you get, you use 1kWh of electricity and the other 2kWh comes from the warmth of the air outside. One third of 0.519 is 0.173, which is nine times worse than burning logs, four times worse than pellets and nearly eleven times worse than burning wood chip. Why is the government pushing heat pumps when we don’t have the cable infrastructure to run them all and the majority of the electrical grid is still on fossil fuels and up to 70% of the power produced is lost in transmission? It makes no sense. The replacement for the failed Green Homes Grant scheme funds heat pumps to the tune of £5,000 per household. It has been announced that biomass boilers will be included in the new scheme, after having been excluded in earlier rounds of proposals. Even now, homes will only be eligible for biomass grants if they are off gas grid with a rural/urban indicator of D or lower.
