⚠️ Before you read on: Replacing a modern, condensing gas boiler with a biomass boiler is likely to increase your running costs. The systems are expensive, require space, and can impact local air quality — so you’ll need to check with your local authority before you consider installing biomass in your home.
Note that the RHI is now closed, so homeowners installing biomass boilers now cannot benefit from cash payments from this scheme. Due to the high cost and the specific criteria for installation, these systems are rarely funded through government grant schemes.
If you are not converting your loft space to a habitable room, read about loft insulation to ensure you don’t heat this area unneccessarily.
This is typically done by fixing rigid insulation boards between the rafters of the roof, and then covering these boards over with plasterboard. Flexible insulation or thermal lining boards can also be used, although sometimes these are less effective.
If you already have a room in your roof but you notice that it gets particularly cold, then it may need rafter insulation. It is possible to do this, although the room will need to be redecorated after completion. As with loft insulation, ventilation may be required.
You can save up to £400 per year through room in roof insulation. The costs can vary significantly depending on the size, and grants will normally only include insulating the loft floor.

There are several criteria needed for a home to suit a biomass boiler:
