ÖkoFEN Pellet Boilers for Hot Water and Central Heating
Sustainable Commercial Heating with Pellet Boilers
Central Heating
The perfect central heating system for large residential homes and commercial heating applications. Providing underfloor and radiator heating as well as hot water the ÖkoFEN pellet boiler offers a reliable and automated system. Currently being installed in many commercial buildings including schools across New Zealand to replace ageing coal and gas boilers.
Process Heat
Around half of New Zealand’s process heat demand is met by burning fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. The the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) support the adoption of low-emission biomass boiler systems in commercial, institutional, and industrial heat applications. A wood pellet biomass boiler system is ideal for small to medium heat loads (50 kW to 2 MW) providing hot water below 100°C.
Swimming & Hot Pools
ÖkoFEN boilers can be used to supply hot water for pools, hot pools and spas in both residential and commercial applications. Perfect for schools, motels and public swimming pools – where having a heated pool it great for busines. At the same time they can also supply central heating and domestic hot water. A viable alternative to systems that use fossil fuels like gas.
Some examples of commercial buildings where a pellet boiler would be best suited include residential care homes, community centres, swimming pools, campgrounds, sports facilities, medical practices, small breweries, commercial kitchens, shops, offices, glasshouses and more. Apricus Eco Hot Water can advise, design and supply suitable systems.
Reliability & Warranty
ÖkoFEN boilers are highly reliable and low-maintenance, which is why 99% of customers would opt for one again at any time. ÖkoFEN Pellematic boilers come with a ten year warranty. All other components are as specified by the boiler manufacturer and of an equal quality, with standard manufacturer’s warranties. All spare parts and warranty replacements are held here in New Zealand and there is network of approved contractors for installation and maintenance.
What People Say
Mark | Ministry of Education
It has been a pleasure working with Apricus Eco over the course of the School Coal Boiler Replacement Programme. They provide an excellent product, and have exceeded our expectations in terms of the seamless supply and delivery of biomass heating to schools. We look forward to working with them in the future… as we continue to decarbonise school heating…
Mark | Tainui School
The boiler has been running two weeks. It’s amazing compared to the old coal burner… the old coal burner was a health hazard really for everybody, but this one is so clean and so warm. It definitely exceeded my expectations, because it’s just so easy to use. There was no real disruption to school life, they were actually pretty good.
