Coal is a renewable resource that is very inexpensive to mine. As such, using coal to heat your home's water is very inexpensive to do. Coal is also readily available, with some experts estimating there is enough to last for another 300 years. In addition, the lifespan of Lincolnshire coal boilers can be as long as 30 years, which means you won't have to worry about replacing your unit for quite some time.
Heating your Lincolnshire home with a coal fired burner will provide a few advantages, including:
Homeowners who have coal boilers point to three main disadvantages associated with these systems.
Many homeowners shy away from coal boilers because they believe electricity is better for the environment than the burning of coal. However, if your electricity comes from a coal-fired plant, it may be more cost effective for you to burn your own coal. When you pay for electricity from a coal-burning plant, you’re not only paying for that coal. You’re also paying for the maintenance and upkeep of the facility itself and all the wires and lines used to deliver electricity to your home. In fact, coal boilers may be more efficient than electric boilers for this very reason – there’s no need to be concerned with heat loss. More of the heat the coal generates will go directly into heating your water.
Typical coal boiler prices will depend a great deal on the demographics of your existing structure. If your home is not already outfitted for coal burning, modifications could be needed to add new pipelines or install a coal chute. These things could increase the cost of installation accordingly. Aside from that, the biggest factor to consider is the size of your boiler. Commercial boilers tend to be larger than residential ones, and are therefore more costly to install.
As with other types of boilers, coal boilers should always be installed by a qualified, experienced and insured professional. This will ensure that your unit is correctly installed and complies will all current safety and industry standards and requirements. An experienced Lincolnshire installer will also be able to provide you with advice regarding how often servicing and maintenance is going to be required.

Coal fired boilers have been used for decades and as such, they are very simple machines. They are cheap to run, easy to repair, and can even be sold for scrap once they outlive their usefulness.
Not really when compared to other fuels. Similar to coal burning power plants, there is a high carbon footprint because of the carbon dioxide emissions created by the burning of fossil fuels like coal. It is a good system, overall, but not one that is ideal if you want to be environmentally friendly.
Coal boilers create a lot of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and smoke waste that is released into the atmosphere. The pollutants can contribute to things conditions like acid rain and can be detrimental to human health.
Coal boilers are currently among the most expensive boilers to have installed, with the average purchase price running well over £3,000. Government officials are discouraging the use of coal for heat due to the waste it produces.
Not as long as they are properly contained, and there is storage space located away from your Lincolnshire home for coal to be stored in. Many people elect to place their boilers in the basement or in an outbuilding to keep coal dust out of their homes.
Yes. These boiler units are still very much available because of the fact that they tend to be more affordable to operate, service and maintain than some other types of boilers on the market.
In most cases, it’s far less expensive to install an electric boiler than a coal one, especially if the home is not fitted for use with a coal fired boiler. Aside from the installation of the boiler and water lines, homeowners must also be aware of the costs associated with building coal storage units, chutes to carry the coal, and flues and/or chimneys designed to safely carry away the combustion gases.
The coal entering your boiler is essentially pulverized before it is burned to boost efficiency. This process creates a very fine dust that can create problems if it is not regularly cleaned. You should have it cleaned quarterly if you’re using it only for heating, and more often if you use it year-round for hot water.
Coal fired boilers are usually some of the most durable and longest-lasting available. Most of them will last 30 years or more when they are properly cleaned and maintained.
This depends on several unique factors, such as your proximity to natural gas mains, the cost of different fuel sources in your area, and your home’s unique setup. It’s best to ask a professional for recommendations or advice when it comes to replacing one boiler system with another.
This is not recommended, as you can risk injuring yourself or causing damage to your boiler due to not knowing how to correctly inspect it. We have several qualified boiler engineers on our network who offer prompt and professional service when installing and repairing coal boilers.
