Biomass boilers can be designed to work with other kinds of heating. The most common of these is solar thermal. This is a popular renewable energy pairing. Solar thermal heating will meet your hot water needs during the summer while a biomass boiler can operate as a backup during the winter when solar thermal panels do not perform as well.
Y Felinheli
Y Felinheli, previously known in English as Port Dinorwic, is a town, community and electoral ward close to the Menai Strait in between Bangor as well as Caernarfon in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The population of the village was 2,284 at the 2011 Census. Y Felinheli has its beginnings in two hamlets, Tafarngrisiau near St Mary's Church and Aberpwll to the north-east where there was a mill on the Afon Heulyn. The mill was rebuilt closer to the sea in 1633 and also gave its name to the settlement. The area was greatly agricultural till the location was transformed by slate quarrying in the 19th century. A new dock was integrated in 1828 when lime was drawn out at Brynadda and also slate and also lime were filled and culm (coal dirt or anthracite slack) was brought in to terminate the lime kilns. The proprietors of the Vaynol Estate, the Assheton Smiths, possessed most of the land in Y Felinheli as well as created the Dinorwic Quarry in the late 18th century, They likewise constructed the harbour to export slate transferred to the quay by the Dinorwic Railway, a narrow scale train that was consequently changed by the Padarn Railway. Industrial expansion offered Y Felinheli (Felin-hely, 1838) the different name Port Dinorwig or Port Dinorwic.
