BIOMASS WOODCHIP BOILER
PERIOD CORN EXCHANGE
As part of Dorchester Council's Climate Emergency, we designed and installed a 150kW Biomass boiler and control system to heat the Listed Corn Exchange in the heart of Dorchester. Results have been impressive - "Financially, the benefits have been considerable" - "The new heating controls with room-by-room zoning and one-week forward programming have proved invaluable and have transformed our ability to manage the heating of the building, with benefits for users (more flexible and accurate temperature control) and for us (financial benefits due to far less wasted heating time).
WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP
PERIOD WATER MILL
Servicing a renovated Mill, we installed a set of Energy Blades - essentially stainless steel heat exchangers - in the adjacent River to extract up to 22kW of energy from the water. Coupled with a Clausius 5-25kW heatpump and over-sized radiators, the Mill is now warm and toasty!
BIOMASS PELLET BOILER
PACKAGING COMPANY
South West Packaging (SWP) is an independently owned corrugated packaging manufacturer, based
in North Dorset. With only 8 basic electric heaters and extensive heat loss, the heating system and
thermal efficiency of their factory and offices were in desperate need of upgrading.
In a bid to make their work place more comfortable, improve quality of storage, and reduce energy
consumption, we installed a 90kW biomass pellet boiler, connecting to a new heating system
BIOMASS WOODCHIP BOILER
COUNTRY HOUSE
We installed a 199kW Biomass woodchip boiler to provide heat & hot water for Fairfield House, a Medieval & Elizabethan house lived in by the Acland Hood family for over 800 years. The boiler and chip store were installed almost 200m away from the main house, connected by ultra-insulated heat main pipework with a branch to heat one of the Estate cottages en-route
GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP
COUNTRY HOUSE
We replaced a 10 year old under-sized heat pump with a new Clausius 3-15kW inverter-driven heat pump in this architect-designed house outside Salisbury. The owner, an Engineer, had very specific requirements that we were able to meet.Read about it here in an article in Homebuilding Magazine
BIOMASS WOOD CHIP
PRIORY
A complete installation of a 199kW wood chip boiler now heats Hilfield Priory and 7 other houses, saving money by using locally-sourced wood from the Priory estate. The installation "forms a significant step along our path towards a more sustainable way of living. As one recent guest to the Friary wrote following her visit, ‘For the first time I didn’t need my hot-water bottle!’"
Air Souce Heat Pump
Domestic Bungalow
A complete installation of a "wet" radiator system and 14kW ASHP replaced the old night storage heaters that were increasingly costly and inefficient to run. We also installed a Metering, Monitoring and Service Package (MMSP), allowing the homeowner to monitor their system's performance over the internet, download Excel data and most importantly, get paid £1,615 as part of the Government's scheme!
BIOMASS PELLET BOILER
SPLIT LEVEL COTTAGE
This customer wanted us to install a pellet boiler in his open fronted garage to heat his 3 bedroom split level cottage and also wanted a bespoke fuel storage facility with at least 5 tonnes capacity.
Bioheat installed an ETA PC 25kW pellet boiler in the garage and built a bespoke fuel storage in keeping with the original garage which holds at least 5 tonnes of pellets. A district heating system was used to get the heat from the garage up to the house, but due to the split level of the building, the piping all had to go in through the cellar.

FARM & SHOP
Park Farm is situated on the edge of Selwood forest where the three counties of Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire meet. The property comprises of a farm house which is the family home, a holiday cottage
and a shop. We were asked to design a system that would heat the farmhouse and the holiday cottage using locally sourced sustainable biomass and connect them together using a super-insulated heat main.
BIOMASS WOODCHIP
LEISURE CENTRE
Lords Meadow Leisure Centre, located in Crediton is a large facility with a swimming pool, large sports hall, squash and tennis courts as well as several dance/exercise studios and a fi tness suite. Mid
Devon Leisure were looking a new energy saving way of heating the centre and we were able to design a system that did just the job.
GAS BOILER
LISTED CHURCH
St. George’s Church in Portsea is a Grade 2* listed building and was built in 1753 by local dockyard workers, it was originally named the shipwright’s church.
Bioheat installed an energy efficient condensing gas boiler with full weather compensation interface. In simple terms the outside temperature dictates the boiler demand, so providing as much, or as little energy required to heat the space. The added benefit is the improved life expectancy of the boiler and associated components and clearly the reduced energy consumption and related costs.
WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP
COUNTRY HOUSE
Pumping water from the River Brue from 85m away to the heatpump located in the garage, we connected to the new radiator system in the house using super-insulated pipework, ensuring minimal losses. The new system is efficient and exceptionally cheap to run.

FARMHOUSE B & B
Ebborlands Farm is a six bedroomed, 2 bathroom, stone farmhouse, running on mains gas and an old wood burner. The customer was keen to use windfall timber from his property and reduce costs and be more environmentally friendly. The customer was also keen to ensure that his installation would qualify for any future domestic RHI payments.
Bioheat recommended an Eco Angus 40kw Log Gasification Boiler. When asked what the customer thought of his installation he said “To be honest I just think of the money I am saving”. In the customers feedback he was very satisfied with the advice from Bioheat regarding his options and with the installation.
