The Oxford Renewables aim is to build up the small-scale renewable energy capacity across the south of England with a range of wood boiler / biomass heating solution services & products. Renewable energy is becoming increasingly common as more and more people look for alternatives to fossil fuels. Traditional fuels such as oil, gas and LPG are costly, damaging to the environment and rapidly running out. Nor do they suit modern household and industrial demands for clean, efficient and locally abundant sources of energy. However, we all have access to wood and solar energy, which are environmentally sustainable energy sources as we are capable of controlling and managing the resource and renewing the available stock. As such, Oxford Renewables is proud to supply a range of wood boilers, solar and biomass heating solutions that are suitable for domestic, rural and commercial properties.

Wood boilers and Biomass heating solutions are fuel efficient, reliable, and safe. The solar and biomass heating systems we offer are eligible for incentives and bursaries from the government – so you can get paid to heat your space and save energy, also reduce your carbon footprint. What’s more, the savings achieved by renewable and biomass energy means that the equipment pays for itself over time. Investing in renewable energy is investing in your future.

Biomass Heating

Biomass heating uses various forms of wood (pellets, chips, recently felled wood or waste timber etc) to fuel boilers and supply, most commonly, heating but can also be used to heat water too. Ideal for small to medium sized homes and businesses, biomass heating is incredibly efficient and offers excellent energy savings and reduced bills. Biomass heating solutions can vary largely in size and there are several models available which are small enough for use inside the home. Larger properties can benefit from combined biomass boilers which use both pellets and logs for more effective heating and energy usage.

Multi Fuel Heating

Multi fuel heating, when used in reference to biomass energy, generally refers to heating systems that use more than one form of fuel – most commonly wood pellets and logs. Multi fuel heating is incredibly efficient as it can be loaded with logs in the morning, and once they have been used the boiler will automatically switch to burning pellets if more heating is required. Using multiple forms of fuel reduces the need for manual loading and also allows you to more effectively tailor your fuel usage to suit your energy requirements.
