One of the benefits of the 15kW Biotech is that all maintenance issues can be accessed from the front and no access to the back or side of the boiler is required. As the boiler is manually fed (although it can be fitted to an automatic feed) the 180kg internal hopper is of great benefit to the customer. We used a 5\u201d twin lined HETAS approved flue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cottage was previously heated by a coal stove with a back boiler which needed the ash emptied 3 or 4 times a day, the customers are very happy that they now have to empty the ash pan of the Biomass Boiler 3 or 4 times a year! They have also greatly reduced their co2 emissions as well as benefitting from reduced fuel costs and significant payments from the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive). They commented on how straight forward they found the RHI application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was another very successful install from Lothian Renewables, contact us for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddy-with-flue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddy-with-flue-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"View of flue with support bars\" class=\"wp-image-1098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddy-with-flue-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddy-with-flue.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of flue with support bars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddtcdloseupbeforedoor.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddtcdloseupbeforedoor-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Boiler installed before new door fitted , draught stabaliser fitted\" class=\"wp-image-1099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddtcdloseupbeforedoor-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddtcdloseupbeforedoor.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Boiler installed before new door fitted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/SmiddyBufferin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/SmiddyBufferin-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Buffer without insulation being positioned.\" class=\"wp-image-1095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/SmiddyBufferin-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/SmiddyBufferin.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Buffer without insulation being positioned.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddy1arrival.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddy1arrival-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Boiler Components Arrive\" class=\"wp-image-1093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddy1arrival-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lothianrenewables.co.uk\/files\/2014\/06\/smiddy1arrival.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Boiler Components Arrive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biomass Boiler installed in 16th Century Blacksmiths &nbsp;outside toilet!
