With strong business growth, Ashley Ann Kitchens in Wick took over an adjacent factory for production, warehousing and despatch. The front of the building boasted a large office suite and showroom. The entire building was previously heated using LPG which would have been prohibitively expensive and went against the company’s aim of being as eco-friendly as possible.
Another successful biomass system installation from the highly respected AFS Biomass in partnership with EDS Scotland
AFS Biomass was recommended to managing director, Steve Bremner, who needed a modern, efficient and robust biomass boiler system which was accredited to burn the manufacturing residue including sawdust, shavings, off-cuts and packaging, all of which was extracted into a bespoke fuel silo through the new EDS extraction system.
AFS Biomass recommended the Gilles HPKI-K Industrial Boiler, with heat distributed throughout the factory, warehouse and despatch from overhead multi-directional fan coil radiators. The offices and showroom were connected via a plate heat exchanger to the existing radiator system.
In addition to huge savings from burning free wood fuel against the cost of LPG, further savings were created by not having to dispose of all that waste.

Yet another bonus is the fact that the biomass boiler is accredited to the Government RHI scheme, (Renewable Heat Incentive) – designed to reward businesses that contribute to the UK’s carbon reduction targets. Payable for 20 years for all the metered, eligible heat generated from biomass, it provides a very welcome additional income stream.
AFS Biomass is a leader in the promotion and implementation of all forms of biomass energy generation. As one of the few Carbon Trust Accredited Suppliers in the UK, AFS Biomass offers the design, installation and ongoing maintenance to many diverse sectors, including furniture and kitchen manufacturers, sawmills, pallet companies and more. References are available on request from a large number of highly satisfied clients.
So why choose a biomass heating system? Benefits include: savings against current fossil fuel costs; which continue to rise, wood waste disposal savings (create energy from waste rather than pay for its removal); mitigate against future carbon taxes; enhance green credentials (claim almost carbon neutrality for heating); and eligible for the Government RHI scheme.
