NEW HAMPSHIRE WOOD ENERGY COUNCIL
Professional Guidance on Conversion to Wood Heat Systems
May 2018: Proud to support the Feel Good Heat campaign, a collaborative effort by environmental and community development non-profits, wood pellet producers, and Automated Wood Heat systems distributors across New England and New York. Together, we’re growing energy independence here at home, creating local jobs and supporting our forested landscape.

Why Biomass?
Biomass heating systems save heating costs and keep fuel dollars in the local economy. It reduces our dependence on imported fuels and also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. Even better, biomass creates jobs and supports strong markets for low-grade wood, keeping forests un-developed. It is a renewable, sustainable resource.
