ou can expect the average biomass boiler to cost roughly £16,000 – but this will fluctuate, depending on a few factors.

Cheaper models can cost around £12,000, but won’t provide as much warmth as a larger model. On the other hand, you could splash out and pay about £22,000 for a boiler that can heat an extremely large home.

How much you’ll pay for a biomass boiler will depend on several factors, including the size, make and level of automation of the boiler you choose. Manually fed log boiler systems, for example, will be cheaper than automatically fed pellet boilers.

Below, you can see just how much size and automation impacts the overall price of biomass boilers:

Type of biomass boiler	Average price range
Small manually fed log boiler	£10,000–£13,000
Large manually fed log boiler	£13,000–£16,000
Small automatically fed pellet boiler	£15,000–£21,000
Large automatically fed pellet boiler	£22,000–£31,000

Of course, if you’re swapping your current boiler for a greener alternative, biomass boilers aren’t your only option.

So, how do they compare to other heating systems?

Heating system	Average price range
LPG boiler	£600–£2,500
Gas boiler	£3,800–£4,200
Electric combi boiler	£3,000–£3,700
Solar thermal	£3,000–£5,000
Air source heat pump	£7,000–£13,000
Biomass boiler	£12,000–£20,000
Ground source heat pump	£24,000–£49,000

A biomass boiler is a heating system that uses wood or other organic matter to generate heat. The technology has been around for thousands of years, and it’s still popular among homeowners and businesses today. There are many different types of biomass boilers on the market, but they all work in much the same way. A biomass boiler can be installed inside your home or business for use as an alternative to traditional gas-fired boilers.

A biomass steam boiler is a type of biomass boiler that uses wood pellets as fuel. It’s also known as a wood pellet furnace, which may be what you’re looking for if your primary concern is heating your home.

A biomass steam boiler is usually made up of three main parts:

A combustion chamber, where the wood pellets are burned and converted into heat energy
A water pump system that pumps water into the firebox so it can boil and create steam
An air inlet system that delivers air to the firebox

Are biomass steam boilers cheaper to run?

If you’re looking for an affordable way to heat your home, consider a biomass boiler.

Biomass boilers are more energy efficient than oil or gas boilers. Biomass boilers use less energy to produce the same amount of heat as oil and gas boilers. They also have a higher fuel efficiency rating, which means that they produce more heat from less fuel than other types of fuel. This makes them significantly cheaper to run than oil and gas boilers.

What equipment is needed for biomass steam boiler?

wood pellet boilers

Biomass Steam Boiler is mainly composed of:

Wood pellet boiler or wood chip boiler, which is the main body of biomass steam boiler equipment
Pellet feeder and chip feeder, which is to supply raw materials to the biomass steam boiler machine
Feeding device, which is necessary for feeding pellets into the pellet mill or chip mill; For example, vibrating feeder (usually equipped with a vibrating sieve), top roller conveyor and bottom roller conveyor (usually equipped with an underfeed device) etc.
