Affordable biomass boilers and ground source heat pump systems for country houses

Country houses typically have high and continuous heat demands. Dunster has extensive experience designing, delivering and maintaining biomass and ground source heat pump systems in homes/ businesses in rural areas. Using proven products and technology, we work with clients to develop workable and long lasting solutions that are tailored to individual needs.

Biomass

Dunster’s wood chip or wood fuelled heating systems offer country house owners the opportunity to save on fuel by as much as 50%; savings are highest where the installation displaces LPG or oil.

Advantages for country houses:

  • Increased savings: woodchip can deliver heat at between 1.5 – 3.5p kWh, versus oil or LPG at 5p kWh and electricity at 12p+ kWh.
  • Attractive payback: receive RHI payments for up to 20 yrs, with a good return on investment of between 5%- 25%.
  • Ability to integrate: biomass can integrate with your existing system (gas boiler or electric fire) fulfilling space, under floor and water heating requirements at higher temperatures.
  • Reduced environmental footprint: great for your corporate social responsibility and reputation.
  • Green credentials: helps differentiate from competitors and makes it easier to gain planning permissions.

Need help funding your biomass boiler? Dunster has teamed up with an investment partner to offer a unique funding facility for biomass installations qualifying for the non-domestic RHI.
