Autumn 2025 Biomass Boiler Maintenance Checklist
Autumn 2025 Biomass Boiler Maintenance Checklist
As the last days of summer fade away, it’s time to prepare for the colder months ahead. Autumn is the perfect time to ensure your biomass boiler is running efficiently and safely before winter sets in. At Balcas Energy, we’ve put together a handy biomass boiler checklist for autumn 2025 to help you maintain optimum performance from your biomass heating system this Autumn.
Taking a few simple steps now can help prevent unexpected issues later — and keep your home or business warm and efficient all season long.
✔️ Fuel Store Is Clean
Start with your pellet store. A clean, well-maintained fuel store ensures your biomass boiler receives a steady, uncontaminated supply of wood pellets. We recommend following our Summer Fuel Store Maintenance Guide, which includes tips on clearing dust, inspecting the store, and checking seals for wear and tear.
A clean store means less risk of blockages or poor combustion, which helps maintain boiler efficiency and extends its lifespan.
✔️ Annual Biomass Boiler Service Completed
Your biomass boiler should be serviced once a year by a certified technician. Regular servicing ensures the appliance is operating correctly, efficiently, and, most importantly, safely.
A full inspection can identify early signs of wear, clean internal components, and check the flue system. This proactive approach can save you time and money during the colder months when you rely on your heating system the most.
✔️ Thermostat Check and Settings Adjustment
Make sure your thermostat is working correctly and reflects your comfort needs. After months of minimal use, your heating system might need recalibration.
Check the settings to ensure your biomass boiler responds accurately to temperature changes. Adjusting your thermostat can improve heating performance and reduce unnecessary energy use.
✔️ Order Pellets in Advance
Avoid the winter 2025 rush by ordering your wood pellets early. During peak heating season, lead times may increase, and demand often exceeds supply.
At Balcas Energy, we recommend placing your pellet order in Autumn 2025 to ensure timely delivery. You can order any time using our 24/7 online ordering system, which is quick, convenient, and reliable.
Order your wood pellets here and enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re stocked and ready.
