  • How long does it take to install a biomass heating system?

    The installation time depends on various factors, such as the required heating output and the current condition of pipes and radiators. In an average detached house, we need around 5-7 working days for a complete installation. We will be happy to provide you with a detailed schedule for your individual project.

  • What is biomass heating?

    Biomass heating is an environmentally friendly heating system that uses natural, renewable raw materials as fuel. This heating technology mainly uses biomass such as wood, pellets, wood chips or agricultural residues to generate heat. It works by burning the biomass to produce steam, which then heats a heating system or a heat storage tank.

  • How high are the operating costs compared to conventional heating systems using fossil fuels?

    The operating costs of biomass heating are generally lower compared to conventional heating systems using fossil fuels such as oil or gas. This is because biomass as a fuel is often cheaper than fossil fuels. In addition, biomass heating systems can be operated more cost-effectively by using regional resources such as wood waste or agricultural residues, as there are no high transportation costs.

  • Are there any state subsidies or grants for installing a biomass heating system?

    The subsidy situation for all heating systems is currently complicated. Please call us to find out more about the current situation regarding state and federal subsidies.
