Timber Neutral Ltd has cut heating costs – and further boosted its environmental credentials – at its Sileby site by installing a new wood-fired system.
The importer and hardwood joinery specialist has invested in a Fercell GX heater which is fuelled by offcuts from the manufacture of flooring and bespoke products, including staircases, doors, windows and panelling.
“Installing the wood-fired boiler fits within that company profile, and moreover it will pay for itself quickly by saving the high cost of electricity that was previously used to heat the factory as well as protecting us against future increases in energy costs,” said director Matthew Roberts.
Fercell Engineering Ltd said it is seeing strong demand for its GX range of heaters – and while the spate of cold weather has no doubt helped, the key reason is financial.
“Companies are cautious about all expenditure in the current economic climate, but they are prepared to invest when they can see a definite return,” said Mark Fletcher, managing director of Fercell.
