Visit an operational biomass boiler installation

We always recommend a visit to an operational biomass boiler site to give context to your project. Having managed over 700 successful projects nationwide since 2005, we are more than likely to have a Treco installation operational in your area and will happily take you to visit one.

During the site visit, you will see for yourself the size of the whole system’s footprint and how the boiler, buffer tank and pipework fit and work together. You will see the fuel store’s location, how it is filled and the route of any insulated underground pipe runs. The site visit will also answer any questions you may have regarding the access required for fuel delivery vehicles, including the turning circle, or how a year’s supply of wood chips can be chipped straight into a fuel store.

During the site visit, you'll get the opportunity to have a conversation with the owner of the system. This will give you a very good idea of their experience and an idea of the experience you may have with your project. They will tell you the best places they have found to source good quality wood fuel, how they get on with the boiler and what it was like to work with Treco. They can give you the benefit of their experience with Ofgem and administration of their RHI account.

Calculator with money pennies

Treco’s non-domestic RHI calculator

Treco’s commercial RHI calculator is a tool we developed in-house to help demonstrate the fuel cost savings, potential RHI payments and payback you can expect from your biomass boiler project.

All you have to do is enter the boiler size in kW, then enter the total installed cost of the project, followed by the fossil fuel currently used and the biomass fuel type you would like to use.

The calculator then displays a summary of results which indicate carbon savings, net project cashflow, discounted cashflow and the anticipated payback period of the project. All figures supplied are index linked to inflation and include the cost of finance, where required.

You can then save your results and change variables such as the cost of biomass fuel or the cost of borrowing. We can also provide information on potential sources of finance, although we do not provide the financing directly.
