Why hire a biomass boiler service through Airtasker?

Every year, roughly 8.9 million tonnes of wood go into landfills—but did you know that this hefty amount of waste can be repurposed in more meaningful ways? Believe it or not, the humble wood could easily power numerous units of biomass boilers, which is a low-carbon, renewable energy source.

By burning plant material you can readily find at home such as wood chips, logs, and pellets, biomass boilers can generate heat and electricity, providing the necessities that any household requires. This makes it a fantastic, cost-effective, and more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional boilers.

If you’re planning to retire your old unit and have an eye out for a sleek replacement, consider upgrading to a biomass boiler. Need expert advice or some help with installation or maintenance? Simply post a task on Airtasker to link up with seasoned installers who can provide efficient biomass boiler servicing near you.

Top Biomass Boiler Service related questions

Biomass boilers use fuel taken from organic matter. A common material for this is wood, which is considered “carbon-neutral.” This means the amount of carbon that burnt wood emits is offset by the amount of carbon it already absorbed from the atmosphere during its lifetime.

A biomass boiler works quite similarly to your everyday, conventional boiler. The unit burns fuel from the wood pellets or logs you’ve fed it. Through this, it produces heat, and this heat is then used to warm up a localised area or connect to a centralised heating system.

Wood has to be regularly supplied to keep the biomass boiler working. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on your type of boiler.

Biomass boilers are safer for the environment. Instead of relying on fossil fuels, they make use of a green alternative.

Aside from this, they’re more cost-effective to use compared to traditional boilers. Since you’re able to repurpose old wood for its fuel supply, you can save more money versus having to purchase oil for traditional boilers.

Based on Renewable Heat Incentive regulations, biomass boilers need to be serviced once a year. It’s best to get them maintained in the summer, since you won’t need to use them as much during this season. 

Seasoned engineers can take between 1-2 days to install or service a biomass boiler, depending on its size or model. To get a more accurate estimate, discuss this with your Tasker.

The current rates for professional biomass boiler servicing range between £180 and £450. For a more accurate quotation, consult your Tasker.

For an engineer to qualify for this type of work, they must first secure accreditation from HETAS. This is because HETAS oversees the Approved Biomass Boiler Maintenance Scheme. The Scheme, on the other hand, sets the standards professionals must uphold for biomass boiler servicing. 

Suggested reads about Biomass Boiler Service

What do biomass boiler services include?

  • With biomass boilers, you can take small but crucial steps in helping the environment—all while making wood waste disposal easier on your end. To keep the unit in tip-top shape, it’s ideal to get it regularly inspected and maintained. Routine biomass boiler servicing near you helps prevent breakdowns and prolongs its lifespan, so it can be enjoyed as a reliable energy source for years to come.

No matter how long you’ve used a biomass boiler, cleaning and performing safety checks is still best performed by an engineer registered at HETAS (Heating Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme). You can expect to receive the following when you avail of expert-provided biomass boiler services near you:

General inspection and safety check

Any biomass boiler service should start with a thorough assessment of the unit. This includes checking its many components, including wiring, pipework, and controls. Engineers also test the boiler’s pressure relief valve and temperature sensors to see if they still function properly. 

Biomass boiler cleaning

Soot and ash build up in the combustion chamber and heat exchanger over time. These parts should be mindfully cleaned by an expert. Keeping them spot-free lets the unit transfer energy more efficiently. If the dirt is not properly addressed, it can cause wear.

Upkeep or replacement of moving parts

In this next step, engineers inspect seals, bearings, and other key parts that make the boiler operate. Experts check for any damage, then lubricate or grease these parts to prevent the unit from overheating. If any parts are worn out, they’re replaced immediately.

Flue gas analysis and efficiency testing

Engineers check whether the fuel burns safely through what’s called a flue gas analysis. Here, they check for levels of carbon monoxide and other gases in the exhaust. Adjustments are made based on the results to keep the unit running efficiently.

Fuel equipment check

Finally, the fuel supply and feed system are checked. Engineers need to make sure that fuel is being delivered and burned consistently. Any issues with the process are addressed to prevent the unit from malfunctioning.

After a boiler service, I found that air has been trapped inside the boiler. Therefore, water splashes around in the boiler and it vibrates. The radiators have already been bled and the heating has already been turned on. No further advice has been obtained from the technician who did the boiler service. I need someone who knows Main boilers (Main Combi 25 Eco, from 2010) very well and knows how to remove the air from inside the boiler. - Due date: Flexible
