Kedco Wood Pellet Timber House What is rfequired from me?In order to ensure the smooth installation of your wood pellet timber house, the following are required:
When can I expect delivery of my house?There is approximately a 6 week lead-time from the date of ordering the house to the date of arrival Can I still avail of the SEI Grant and how much am I entitled to?Yes, you can still avail of the grant from the Greener Homes scheme from Sustainable Energy Ireland. The timber house includes a Kedco boiler; therefore you can avail of the full grant of €3,000. For advice on applying for the grant, please ask your local Kedco agent. What foundations do I need for the timber house?The dimensions of the house are 12ft (l) x 8ft (w), and must be erected on a 100mm level concrete slab. We recommend that the foundation slab has an extra 200mm edging around the perimeters and that it is slightly sloping to allow water to flow from the slab. When must the plumbing be done?We recommend that the plumbing be done prior to the arrival of the boiler, as space within the house is limited when the boiler is in place. The plumber will have enough room to make the necessary connections when the boiler is in, but would find it difficult to manoeuvre if he was starting with the boiler in place. Are there any particular considerations when choosing a site for the house?The distance the wood pellet fuel can be delivered is extremely important when considering the positioning of the timber house. Consideration must be given to any of the bends that the pipe must take to get from the truck to the inlet point. As a guide we recommend that any timber house that has a straight-line connection from where the truck will be parked to the inlet should be at a connecting distance of no more than 80ft. When ordering, do I need to specify anything in particular?Yes, it is very important that you have decided where the house will be situated and the direction that you wish the house to be facing. This will determine whether you receive a left or right sided Kedco boiler.
