Questions
What is the Renewable Heat Incentive?
The RHI is a government scheme paying participants for generating heat from renewable sources. Payments last 20 years and are adjusted for inflation, helping offset installation costs.
Do you install both domestic and commercial systems?
We provide biomass boilers for both sectors, from single-property heating to large-scale district systems. Our projects range from 45kW domestic units to multi-megawatt commercial installations.
Which areas do you cover?
We operate across Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, North Gloucestershire, Powys, and Monmouth. Our team handles projects in both rural and urban locations throughout these regions.
What fuel types do your boilers use?
Our systems accommodate wood chips, pellets, logs, miscanthus, and grain. We recommend specific fuels based on boiler models and client requirements for optimal performance and RHI compliance.
Are your installations MCS-certified?
All domestic systems below 45kW meet MCS certification standards. We handle the accreditation process to ensure eligibility for RHI payments and compliance with government sustainability criteria.
Can I see working examples?
Our headquarters at Humber Court Farm features operational biomass and solar systems. We welcome visits to demonstrate real-world performance of our heating solutions in agricultural settings.
