Biomass boilers and heat pumps represent two distinct approaches to energy-efficient heating systems. Biomass boilers produce heat by burning wood products, requiring a physical feed of fuel, unlike heat pumps, which utilize external air or ground temperatures to generate heat and hot water by using electricity. This leads to differences in ongoing maintenance, cost variability, and operational requirements. Rank-wise, heat pumps are regarded as more efficient, needing no manual fuel input, whereas biomass systems necessitate either manual or automated feeding. Such factors are critical in determining the most suitable option based on individual home needs and circumstances.
Air source heat pumps use the air outside and electricity to provide homes with heating and hot water comfort all year round.
A biomass boiler relies on burning wood-based products such as wood pellets, chips or logs to create energy.
Heat pumps don't need you to physically feed them with fuel, while biomass boilers require manual or automated fuel delivery.
Cost differentials exist because air and ground temperatures are free, although electricity is not.
