[QUOTE="farmerm, post: 6426658, member: 7195"] That is a bit negative! I know at least 3 biomass installations that have been pretty successful and have already repaid the investment. On mine the pellet costs have increased and the others burn a day or two more logging work than the installers would have had you believe but overall we are all pleased. Not sure the lower RHI rates available today would be as attractive but pulling out a biomass boiler before the RHI payments have expired needs careful thought. I would be more worried about installing a ground source heat pump, I know of one that burns through an insane amount of electric and that is on a highly insulated new build property, not a drafty old farmhouse!
