I run a heating and plumbing business, We also fit renewable energy products like solar panels and wood pellet burners. We are also certified to fit oil and gas appliances, both natural and LPG.
My cilents are normally well informed people both private and commercially. We get a spec and we do the work accordly. If you wanted us to fit a boiler that runs on potatoe skins we would do it.Evryone for there own.
I am giving my personal opinion on this matter and firmly belive that condensing boilers of any fuel are a better choice with regard to installation and running costs.
wood pellet boilers have a future but only if they are massively improved. ~People want appliances with little or no maintance. I belive in the next 5 - 10 years there will be much better products out there so I wouldn't invest in them now,IMHO.
I think the same about solar panels, they too have a whole lot of improving to do.
I also have no connections to any manufactur or fuel supplier I.E oil/gas/wood pellet
