Can You Heat For Free?

When it comes to heating our homes, many of us think that what’s good for the environment is not always going to be good for our finances.

Renewable energies like solar, wind or ground source can be unreliable as a single heat solution and costly to install with long payback periods. Site suitability also means these options are not viable for many.

More and more farmers and land owners in the UK are taking a lead from the Scandinavians and turning to wood as a cheap, clean and hassle free source of heating family homes.

Wood burning hot water and heating systems have advanced rapidly in recent years and as efficiency has increased, the cost of installation has dramatically decreased. A complete boiler package can now be purchased for less than £4,000 and grants are also available to help with costs. Boilers can be connected to existing closed heating systems and fitted in weeks.

Guy Winterbourne of Eco Angus Wood Burning Boilers advises, “Simple solutions for greener heating are always best and the major benefit for landowners with access to a hard or soft wood supply is that fuel is free! Log splitters take the hassle out of chopping wood and modern wood boilers make loading easy and keep maintenance low”.


Harvesting and burning your own wood not only makes sound financial sense, but the environmental impact of CO2 emissions is negligible. To find out how you can turn your wood supply into a free heating source, get in touch with Eco Angus at www.ecoangus.co.uk or call 07970 901 273.
