ABOUT Wood Pellet Boilers - FAQs |
What range of boilers does Kedco stock?Our range of wood pellet boilers comes in model sizes from 16kW to 30kW which will heat anything from apartments right up to 4/6 bedroom houses. The insulation of your house will influence the boiler size required. How long will the installation of a Kedco Boiler take?The boiler must be housed either in a garage, boiler house, or alternatively, our Kedco pellet house. If the area is already plumbed, the work that needs to be done for the installation will be minimal. Most installations should take less than a day. Is it possible to keep my oil system and install a wood pellet boiler?Yes. If you wish you can just extend the pipes from your existing boiler to the wood pellet boiler, and put valves on the oil boiler which can then be manually or electronically switched. Is there a contract, and in such case, what is the minimum term?There is no contract. However, to ensure you are covered under the warranty your boiler must be serviced annually by a Kedco technical person. What size boiler do I require for my house?Call Kedco today and one Kedco representatives will be able to discuss your heat requirements and determine which boiler would be of most benefit to you. What costs are involved in the installation of my wood pellet boiler and what running costs are involved?Apart from the initial purchase of the wood pellet boiler, costs include plumbing, flue and an annual service. Will my existing plumbing system be compatible?Yes. A house is plumbed the very same way as when an oil burner is being installed. Your plumber will be able to install the wood pellet boiler along with the flue and manual hand valve, which are all delivered with the boiler. What about commissioning?Kedco provides a complete service, and our registered technicians will commission the boiler at your house. This is included in the purchase price. The boiler is as easy to use as an oil boiler and the technician will spend time with you to make sure you are comfortable with the operating instructions. What kind of Chimney is required?A 5” twin wall conventional flue is required for boilers of 16kW & 24kW outputs, while a 6” twin wall flue is required for boilers of 30kW outputs. A flue draught stabiliser is also required. Do I need to be present when the boiler is delivered on the site?Yes. If you don't have a mechanical method to easily move the boiler you will need to organise for 4 or 5 people to be present on the site the day the boiler arrives. This is to assist you in carrying the boiler from the entrance to your required boiler storage area. The boiler weights approximately 300kg.
