Return is calculated using combined bill savings and subsidy earnings. Bill savings are calculated using estimated energy usage and either the electricity price at the time of installation (1 November, 2013) or, for our heating products, the existing fuel type available to the property.
This Cheshire farm house has solid walls and is set in a very exposed location, off the mains gas grid. The owner was suffering increasingly high bills and was reliant on heating with oil and filtering water from a bore hole. He approached EnergyMyWay looking for a lower-cost, more sustainable heating and hot water solution, which resulted in the installation of a combi biomass boiler.
After reviewing the renewable energy options, a biomass boiler was selected because a high flow temperature was needed. Our Cheshire biomass boiler expert recommended a combi biomass boiler from Effecta, with a domestic hot water coil fitted into the buffer tank, removing the need for a separate hot water tank.
Mr Williams is planning on redeveloping the property so the biomass boiler has been housed in a wooden shed as a temporary solution.
