“The system provides heat to the business, (central heating and hot water), to the office, and shop I can confirm that Biofutures could not have been more helpful with putting together a detailed and appropriate specification for the full installation. The entire project management was left to Biofutures on a turnkey basis.” “Having completed the installation and commissioned the boiler, they helped train me in the boiler's operation and have been proactive in resolving a few minor (and inevitable) teething problems. The boiler is working fully as designed and is proving extremely economical and trouble free.”

During the planning stages of this project it was essential that we not only wanted a reliable and efficient heating system but one that would sit comfortably with the residential and commercial uses on the farm. Biotech’s biomass boiler were decided upon as the best fitting solution and following the successful installation we would not hesitate in recommending them or the local UK distributors/installers, Biofutures Ltd.

“We are delighted with the installation and it is very satisfying to know we are generating our own heat for the buildings. We are extremely proud to be doing our bit for the environment by significantly reducing our carbon emissions having moved away from oil”.

Lesley and Martin have following comments : “The pellet stove, we absolutely love it. It’s easy to use and though we have had a fairly mild winter it takes very little time to warm up the house. When it goes on in the morning it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to bring it up from 17 to 22 degrees, and unless the fan is on high it is very quiet. We don't seem to use many pellets either. 'Tracy' also looks good too! One of the main reasons we wanted to have the stove was the sustainability angle using a renewable and less polluting energy source. We didn't want gas, not just because of the cost but because we wanted to get way from the use of fossil fuels where possible. So yes we are really happy with the stove and would recommend it to anyone looking to for an efficient and sustainable heating system”.

‘Our property had comparatively inconsistent water pressure and low flow around the house. We wanted the installation of a combination buffer tank as part of our biomass pellet boiler system to help address this by providing mains pressure hot water. This was only possible with a pressure/flow booster of some kind to meet the buffer tank’s requirements. Biofutures recommended the Grundfos Home Booster Kit as the best solution. They sourced and fitted this as part of the overall Biomass installation, the ideal time to do so. We now enjoy excellent mains pressure hot water and much improved cold water pressure and flow. It works unobtrusively in the plant room and is well integrated with the rest of the system. We are delighted with the entire Biomass system and the timely installation by the Biofutures team.‘

The Biofutures team collaborated effectively with our architects to find a practical solution to achieve our goal of heating our home and providing hot water using environmentally friendly technology while respecting the character of the old buildings. Once permission was received, Biofutures coordinated the installation with our builders so that the system was up and running in time for the autumn and to qualify for the available government incentive scheme. The system is completely automated, quiet and effective. Thank you to all the team for their friendly and professional approach and execution of the project.

“As a farming business the opportunity to heat our home with a log boiler was attractive as we had a ready source of timber, the space to process it and locate the boiler and the buffer cylinder that is quite large. This has resulted in significant fuel savings, which on top of the RHI income makes this a sensible and excellent investment for any rural homeowner or business. The Biofutures team worked closely with us during the installation and it was undertaken smoothly with us being keep updated on progress. The commissioning and hand over was excellent and we are very pleased with the system and the work done.” Chris & Cath Alford
