Accumulator 1,000 litres
50 kW power

We are thrilled with the boiler setup, it has performed just as advertised and keeps the new office complex at a lovely temperature. It’s simple to load and easy to use. Our timing was good and we do benefit from the RHI scheme, however, even without the RHI scheme, it would still be our choice of boiler for any expansions on the site due to the amazing reliability, lower running costs and the sustainability vs other heating sources.

Customer Comment , Gloucestershire equestrian centre

When this forestry business and garden centre built a new office complex on the charming site in Oxfordshire, they enlisted Hargassner to supply and install a biomass boiler for the heating and hot water requirements. Working together with our design team, we installed a system that could comfortably deliver these heating requirements whilst being extremely user friendly and efficient.

A shipping container has been used to house the plant room and fuel store which are separated by an internal wall, this offers excellent efficiency in terms of space and the easy task of loading the chips means this boiler set up needs very little care and attention. The environmental impact of this initiative is significant, with an annual reduction of 88 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, showcasing the commitment of this forestry business and garden centre to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
