Biomass heating

Environmentally friendly wood pellet heating

Heating with pellets is considered to be particularly environmentally friendly, cheap and efficient, thanks to their excellent energy and fuel values. Pellets are also much easier to store than, for example, wood logs or wood chips.

Our innovative pellet boilers provide carbon-neutral heating for any home – much cheaper than oil or gas. The many benefits of pellet boilers make them one of the most popular biomass heating options.
