Heating solutions as a turnkey delivery
The heating plant is delivered as a turnkey service. A heating plant requires only a small space on the plot, so it can be placed in the proximity of the property even in cramped places. The heating plant can also be constructed in an existing plant space or we can also operate the existing plant. We will also assist you with obtaining the necessary building permits, if necessary. Once the contract period has expired, the customer has the option of redeeming the equipment for itself or of renewing the contract for continuation of the services.
The heating team at your service by maintenance contract
The most common delivery model is the 8–10 years cooperation contract which includes the construction of the heating plant as well as the heating team’s upkeep, maintenance and monitoring services. With modern automation, our heating team monitors the heating plant’s maintenance needs, pellet circulation and the need for a refill around the clock. Contract customers only pay the fixed monthly basic fee and a consumption-based fee.
Pellets are a carbon-neutral and energy-efficient alternative
In property heating, pellets offer a risk-free alternative for fossil fuels, which promotes sustainable development. The in-use energy consumption of properties accounts currently for the majority of the emissions of built environment. A heating solution utilising renewable energy boosts the sustainability of the building. Pellet heating does not contribute to carbon dioxide emissions. Burning of wood pellets releases the same amount of carbon dioxide to the environment as is released when wood-based waste decomposes in nature.
Pellet heating benefits
Switching the property’s heating, for example, from oil to pellets is a safe and profitable project. Benefits are numerous:
- risk-free
- easy monitoring and prediction of heating expenses
- savings in heating expenses
- environmentally-friendly
The high calorific value of wood pellets (> 4.8 MWh per 1000 kg) equals to approximately 4 stacked cubic metres of logs or 450 litres of home heating oil to give the same energy yield. The cost savings compared to oil heating are up to 50%.
Pellets from domestic wood
Versowood pellets are produced as a by-product of our own sawmills’ wood-processing. We utilise all parts of the wood without any losses. We comply with the SFS-EN ISO 17225-2 solid biofuels standard in the quality control of our pellet production.
Heating plants for the industry, public sector and housing companies
Versowood’s heating plant customers currently include industrial companies, municipal operators and housing companies around Finland. We have provided these operators with small, middle-sized and large plants.
In connection with the Ruutana school extension, light oil furnaces were replaced with Versowood’s heating plant and heating service. The waste and outdoor leisure equipment storage was transformed to house a heating plant by raising the roof and adding fire compartments. A fuel silo, chimney and ash container were installed on the new foundation. Heating pipes run to the heat distribution room under the parking area.
A heating system update was carried out at the Nokian Tyres test facility. During this update, the liquid gas furnace was replaced with Versowood’s heating service contract.
Heating services for two school and daycare centre buildings are produced in Suodenniemi. The health care centre building is also connected to the heating network. In these sites, fossil fuels have been replaced by renewable energy and the growing energy need is satisfied through the heating service contract.
Herkkujuustola in Sastamala produces homemade cheese. The company’s production facilities, showroom and restaurant are heated carbon-neutrally using domestic pellets. In this project, the old plant was modified for the new customer. The heat generating capacity of the plant is 300 kW and it is operated by Versowood’s heat team utilising, for example, remote supervision.
Toli’s building stock in Raasepori switched to renewable energy in connection with the energy consumption survey. Versowood renovated the furnace room to be suitable for wood pellets and continues to operate the plant.
