Common questions
Is a biomass boiler better than a heat pump for rural homes?
It depends on your property. Heat pumps are zero-emission at point of use and qualify for a larger BUS grant (£7,500 vs £5,000). Biomass boilers work better in very old, hard-to-insulate buildings where achieving the low flow temperatures heat pumps prefer would be difficult. A local installer can survey your property and give an honest comparison.
How do I know if a biomass installer is reputable?
MCS certification is the key credential — check their registration at mcscertified.com. For biomass specifically, also look for HETAS (Heating Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme) certification, which is the specialist industry body for biomass and solid fuel appliances. HETAS-registered installers are vetted for competence with biomass systems.
What area do biomass installers typically cover?
Biomass installers typically cover a 40–80 mile radius, as the installations are more complex and require follow-up visits for commissioning. For very rural areas, you may need to accept an installer from further afield — but ensure they have a local service partner for ongoing maintenance.
