Geothermal Energy Systems have harnessed that power to supply a clean renewable source of heating to your home.
Geothermal Energy Systems have harnessed that power to supply a clean
renewable source of heating to your home. Deep under the earth’s surface,
water comes into contact with hot rock and turns it into boiling hot water or steam.
On top of 70% lower heating bills Geothermal heat pumpshttp://www.techstore.ie/Renewable-Energy/Geothermal-Energy-Systems/Geothermal-Heat-Pumps.htm have the following advantages:
• High reliability and longevity (on average lasting over 20 years)
• Little or no on-going maintenance (no boiler cleaning, no chimney sweeping, etc.)
• The healthiness and comfort of low temperature heating systems
• A real contribution to a better environment
Im using 30kg of wood per day to heat a similar area, plus the hot water tank. Thats about one and a half wheelbarrow loads per day. That is a hell of a lot of wood, which requires a place to store it. The wood must be stored for a few months after chopping, so it can dry out. So you need a lot of shed space.Thlint,
Could you possibly say how much wood is needed per day to heat an average 3bed semi (100 sq.m.) (winter time)?
Thlint is correct - the more moisture in the wood the more energy is lost when burning it. This is because it takes energy to evaporate the moisture.The amount of wood depends on the kilowatt demand in the house the quality and dryness of the wood.
Is one really tied up to that boiler, or you just load it up, say twice a day?
Txs
I use a log burning boiler frohling 30kw. Burns very well and very little ash. Requires a lot of work cutting chopping etc.
I use it with an oil boiler back up for when i am lazy.
Wood chip pellet would be more automated.
