Wood-Based Heating Systems

Specialists in renewable heating systems.

Humphrey & Crockett specialise in wood-based heating systems and we can undertake the full project for installation. We’ll help you select the right appliance for your home and ensure that the correct safety upgrades have been put in place, along with interlinking systems, so that it works properly once it is installed.

Meeting your heating needs.

Choosing the right wood-based heating system can seem like a daunting task, due to the variations in size and power. At Humphrey & Crockett, we’re here to make sure that the heat output into the room is not overwhelming, but that demand can be met.

It’s often difficult to visualise a working wood-based heating system in action. That’s why we have a fully functioning one in our Andover showroom, and we invite you to experience it first-hand.

Thermal stores.

Once your appliance is up and running and generating lots of heat, you need somewhere to put the excess energy and some way of connecting it. A thermal store is a method that takes the heat generated by multiple sources (wood, gas etc.) and brings them all together into a single store. Your home can then use this store for water and heating as required.

Getting the thermal store right is an important element of the installation of your system as it must meet the demands of the household. The thermal store consumes all the excess heat that your wood–burning stove produces so that you can burn it at maximum efficiency and not overheat one room.

Linking it all together.

Humphrey & Crockett can also supply and install an H2 Panel which links up all the different heating sources and automates the turning on and off of the gas or oil boiler when demand requires it. This is because once you have your appliance and your thermal store, you need to connect them together. You might also want to connect in a gas or oil boiler to your thermal store for when the stove cannot keep up the demand of the household.

Ideally, everything should be automated so that you always have heat in your thermal store.
