Another Business Saving Money On Energy Bills With A Wood Waste Heater

A bespoke-furniture cabinet making company has purchased a wood waste heater from Wood Waste Technology to save money on its operating costs. 

Derek Barrett Design manufactures high-quality, individually designed hand-crafted furniture for homes, offices and commercial interiors.  The company decided to purchase a wood waste heater to utilise the waste timber it generates daily, to reduce business expenditure on heating and waste disposal. 

Director, Derek Barrett explains: “As the business has grown, we expanded into a neighbouring business unit. For the last 3-4 cold winters, we’ve been trying to heat the space with diesel heaters, but they were becoming more and more expensive to run. We’d seen wood waste heaters in use at other companies like ours, so decided to see how they might save our business money and make us more efficient.”

Derek researched the marketplace to try to find the best wood waste heater for the company’s needs.  Having read favourable reviews about UK manufacturer Wood Waste Technology, the company requested more information. 

Following a site survey and quote, a WT5 was installed at the company’s manufacturing office in Ford, Buckinghamshire by Wood Waste Technology’s experienced engineers.  

Derek says: “We’re delighted with our wood waste heater and would 100% recommend the heater, and Wood Waste Technology as a supplier. In terms of investment, it’s a no-brainer. You spend money up front, but it pays back quickly. For example, we’re saving around £600 each month now that we don’t need the two skips we used to have to hire.  We also opted to have the heat dump fitted, so we can continue to burn our waste throughout the summer and send the heat to atmosphere.”

MD of Wood Waste Technology, Kurt Cockroft says: “The recent energy crisis has resulted in a lot of manufacturing companies reviewing their operating costs, and a wood waste heater is a great way to save money on the bottom line.” 

Wood Waste Technology’s years of expertise in wood waste solutions have helped many companies reduce their waste disposal and heating costs.  As well as offering site survey, design, manufacture, installation and on-going maintenance for new units, the company also services all types of wood waste heaters and supplies genuine spares up to 60% cheaper than other suppliers.

In addition, Wood Waste Technology is the UK official distributor for Gross Apparatebau GmbH, a German manufacturer of dependable, precision engineered shredders and briquetters, available in various size and specifications to suit all business applications.
