Solid-fueled heating apparatus burn a variety of solid fuels (wood, coal, briquettes, etc.), which depend on the type of solid fuel being used by your system.

These units are used widely within rural residential properties, farms, workshops, as well as businesses requiring reliable heat. One significant advantage of using a solid fuel system is the flexibility in solid fuel; therefore, if there is a readily available source of inexpensive solid fuel, it can be used as a viable alternative to other traditional heating sources (commercially available propane, natural gas, electricity).

When properly sized and installed, solid-fuel heating systems may provide for hot water, central heating, and require larger amounts of heat than other heating systems.

Wood gasification boilers utilize the principle of burning firewood (a wood fuel) to extract as much heat as possible from it. It does this through the process of gasifying the wood (burning it under controlled conditions) and then adding air into the system and igniting the gases that have been produced.

Wood gasification boilers are best suited for users who want to rely primarily on burning very dry and/or seasoned firewood for heating. In addition, they provide a greater amount of heat per unit of firewood as compared to a conventional wood-burning boiler or stove.

Whether you choose solid fuel or wood gasification boiler; each type of boiler provides reliable heating with differences in how they meet individual owners' needs.

Solid fuel boilers give owners a choice regarding which type(s) of fuel to use. If an owner primarily uses wood as the source of heat, then a wood gasification boiler is the most effective type of boiler for him/her because it burns more efficiently than a traditional solid-fuel boiler.

When selecting a boiler, consider your property's square footage, heat requirements, availability of fuel to burn, room for storing fuel, area where to install the boiler, maintenance required for operation, and overall cost of running the boiler long-term.

Solid fuel boilers offer options for reliable heating and a solid fuel-based solution to your heating requirements. If you are looking for a low-carbon source of energy, consider using a wood gasifier as a heating system for your Irish home, farm or business. The right technology will depend on fuel availability, your property's heating needs and your long term heating goals.
