It might look a bit messy for a while as we need to dig a trench for the pipes to connect up from the new boilers in the outbuildings, to deliver heat to the main house. When the work is complete, there will actually be very little to see. All the pipes will be hidden underground, and the new boilers will be hidden within an existing building.
The biomass boilers will use compressed wood pellets from sustainable sources, which are combusted to generate heat energy.
The switch to wood pellets for Charlecote, is not only better for the environment, but will save us money that we can then spend where is it much needed, in looking after our property.
Wood pellets, grown through sustainable means, are classified as a renewable source of energy because the CO2 released is largely offset by the amount of CO2 it absorbed from the atmosphere while it was growing.
