Eco Angus – simple solutions for greener heating
Eco Angus offer a range of wood burning boilers to provide central heating and domestic hot water. These boilers are
ideal for retrofits or new builds, usually positioned in an outbuilding and linked with the existing heating system.
rants are available
on the boilers
under the
Renewable Heat
Incentive
(domestic and
non-domestic) with typical
payback of the cost of installation
in approximately 5 years.
Family Finds Warm, Eco-friendly
Alternative to Heat Home &
Business
Richard and Tracy’s family live
in a five-bedroom house with an
office above their garage. The
house is exposed, single glazed
with solid walls. Gas isn’t available
so oil was used for heating, hot
water and cooking which was
expensive.

“The boiler is very efficient,
there’s plenty of hot water and
the house is now nice and
warm”
They double glazed the
windows, swapped the aga for an
electric cooker, installed solar
thermal to heat water and installed

a wood-burning stove. However,
the buildings were still difficult and
expensive to heat.
It was important that it would be
eco-friendly and cost effective so,
after research, they chose an
Angus Orligno 200 40kW log
boiler.
They were impressed with the
simplicity of the Eco Angus boilers
making them more straight
forward, cheaper and easier to
maintain than others.
The system was installed three
years ago and the couple receive
non-domestic Renewable Heat
Incentive (RHI) payments. They
say ‘The boiler is very efficient,
there’s plenty of hot water and the
house is now nice and warm. It
has definitely been value for
money especially with the RHI
payments’.
The total cost, including the
installation, was £15,000. Their
annual fuel cost has halved and
they receive an average of £1,848
in RHI payments for the 21,000 kW
hours used annually.
Their Eco Angus boiler will have
paid for itself within just over five
years, still receiving RHI payments
for the 20 year term. If they used
their full allowance of kW hours the
time taken to pay for itself would
be just under three years.
In conclusion, the eco-friendly
Eco Angus wood burning boiler is
an effective way to produce hot
water and heat, means value for
money and saves money in the
long term. It is straightforward and
uncomplicated meaning the
system is unlikely to breakdown
and gives flexibility in obtaining the
fuel from different sources.
