Hi all,
asked previously about opinions on a Stanford sp23/33 were still looking at that option... But whilst here to check the house out the guy suggested possibly a wood burning boiler, have been looking online and finding a wee bit out about grants/loans and RHI etc
I kinda run a business from the house ( I say kinda as it's very adhoc and I don't make any money from it at all, I do it to help people ... But this can change if needs be) now I was reading and it appears that if we decide to get a wood burning boiler and if I make my business official ( I'm honestly not doing anything illegal currently) and if I set up my spare room as a kindve office for the business then I would receive the RHI for 20 years as opposed to 7 years if I was domestic only ... Is this correct?
I was also told that if I have a boiler 40kw or less then I would need a specifically qualified person to work install it but if I went to 50kw I could effectively have a fully competent plumber install it ( which is much cheaper) I've looked online but can't find anything either backing this up or refuting it
Can anyone share both good and bad experiences with a wood burning boiler system? Also question I should ask? Things I need to know etc
It will help us decide a wee bit further about what we want to do
Thanks in advance
