Annual Biomass Boiler Service
An annual professional biomass boiler service is a condition of your RHI agreement and from 1st of April 2023 you will have to use a company registered with HETAS under the HABMS scheme if you are claiming RHI. Commercial Biomass Ltd meets this criteria.
Biomass boiler servicing improves the boiler’s efficiency, resulting in lower fuel bills and increased reliability. Biomass boilers are a completely different piece of equipment to traditional fossil fuel boilers and need specialist engineers to properly maintain the biomass boiler and its immediate system.
Our dedicated engineers are trained and certified by ETA, Gilles/Hargassner, as well as Windhager, Grant and Klover, to name but a few. We service and maintain wood chip, pellet and log systems. Commercial Biomass Ltd can also supply you with ETA boiler spare parts, as well as Gilles boiler spare parts and several other makes if you prefer to make your own repairs.
During a HETAs Biomass Boiler Service, our engineers will:
- Check the boiler’s fault log and repair faults*
- Inspect all boiler access doors and seals, check and replace if damaged
- Thoroughly examine and clean heat exchanger
- Check combustion chamber, including all refractory blocks, tilting grates or walking floor grates, stoker and ash augers
- Test and clean fuel store and boiler augers
- Clear primary and secondary air ports of carbon build up
- Inspect and clean boiler draught fan system
- Inspect all mechanical seals
- Inspect and test ignition device
- Check and lubricate all motors, chains and bearings with the correct lubricant for the heat zone the part is in
- Check control panel hardware and PCB electrical connections
- Check anti-burnback and all other safety systems are fully operational
- Test, run and check operation of all boiler systems
Plus our engineers will:
- Remove and clean your turbulators, if required
- Thoroughly inspect and sweep the boiler flue
- Perform a flue gas analysis to check combustion efficiency
- Check the system water for PH and inhibitor levels
Upon completion a service report will be issued providing detail of the work carried out, engineer comments and advisories for any remedial work.
