YORK AUCTION CENTRE

Farming Sector Leads the Adoption
of Renewable Heat Technologies
Yorkshire company
was Biomass Installer
of the Year 2013
Duncan Renewables, the
Yorkshire-based Biomass
Installer of the Year 2013,
has seen the farming sector
in particular rush to adopt
biomass. Why? Because
most farm locations are
typically off the gas grid
meaning the only means of
heating is often LPG or oil,
both of which are relatively
expensive compared to
wood pellets or wood
chip.
A recent example is a 300
acre family-run pig and chicken
farm based near Northallerton
where owner James Sanderson
installed a 100kW pellet boiler
that provides both heating and

hot water to the farmhouse
as well as hot water for
commercial cleaning of the pig
sheds.

‘Duncan
renewables
comfortably
met all our
requirements’
BESPOKE PACKAGE FOR
HOME & BUSINESS
“The Duncan Renewables
team designed a bespoke
package to combine hot water
for power washing the pig
buildings as well as for heating
the farmhouse,” said James.
“The quality of the
workmanship in the boiler room

and associated pellet store is
of the highest standard and we
are very happy to recommend
Duncan Renewables.”
Solar PV continues to be an
extremely popular technology.
Since 2010, Duncan
Renewables has also installed
more than 10MWs of solar PV
including the installation at York
Auction Centre where Richard
Tasker and his team were keen
to use their roof in order to
generate an income - as well,

of course, as reducing their
electricity bills.
“We wanted to use an
established local business with
its own trained workforce of
technicians and installers, one
we considered would still be
around in the future,” Richard
explained.
“We also wanted a high
quality system that was proven
in the UK. Duncan Renewables
comfortably met all our
requirements.”
