In certain circumstances installing the wood pellet boiler within the property is not practical or possible. This may be due to a lack of space, or concerns over boiler cleaning and ash. Some wood boiler manufactures and retailers have realised this, and now provide boiler energy boxes and pods to keep the wood boiler and pellet hopper separate from the property and pipe the water in. This is similar to our setup with our Tatano boiler, which is stored in an out building and sends hot water to the house via underground pipes.
Storing the wood boiler separately from the house has advantages, including the ones mentioned above. Another advantage is when it comes to the annual boiler clean. Even very low maintenance premium pellet boilers require an annual service and through clean. If this is carried out in the property this could be more difficult.
Another advantage tends to be with the hopper size. When a wood boiler is placed within the property only a fairly small hopper is possible and an external hopper is necessary. Also having a large hopper within the property is a poor use of valuable floor space. With a separate energy box or pod a large hopper is built into the pod.
