99kW Hargassner ECO-PK

Introducing the new 99kW Hargassner ECO-PK

New to the UK and Ireland in November 2014


Designed with efficiency and ease of use in mind, the 99kW Hargassner ECO-PK includes the latest biomass boiler technology available - the Hargassner ECO range of boilers won the 'Energy Genius' award from the Austrian Ministry of the Environment.

If you are installing a 99kW in Northern Ireland, to avail of the government Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), make sure you install a system that will last. The 20 year RHI is linked to the boiler itself - protect your payments and install a Hargassner.

Available across Ireland from Green Energy Technology Ltd. this cutting edge wood pellet boiler (and its wood chip version ECO-HK) has a substantial amount of unique, patented features. We estimate that these features, over the lifetime of the Renewable Heat Incentive, could save the owner over £4,000 in electrical running costs alone - compared to Hargassner competitors.


Schnittbild ECO PK


Double Rotary Grate (1)
The 'stage crusher grate' is the best method for cleaning the burning grate without disruption to combustion. During the combustion the grates are moved accurately, to ensure a homogeneous fire-bed. This double rotary grate is unique to Hargassner.



Firebed height monitoring system with sensors    (2)
Combined with a lambda sensor for fuel quality detection, resulting in the lowest carbon monoxide values, and lowest dust emissions. Hargassner boilers are UK Clean Air Act Exempt. Only Hargassner offer firebed level monitoring as standard.

Heat exchanger cleaning in the first pass   (3)
The Hargassner cleaning system cleans all areas where soot and fly ash can built up - even in the first pass (unlike the majority of competitor boilers). This mechanism creates a more efficient heat exchanger as the boiler is cleaner, and the gas flow is slower.

External soot collection   (4)
Option to add a large soot collector and increase emptying intervals

The silent energy saving ignition (5) only requires 300W, unlike other boiler ignitions which require over 1.3kW. 

Integrated touch controller    (6)
The 5.7” screen with touch controller allows the user to easily see the boiler status, and change settings. 


The EC exhaust gas fan (7) has up to 90% efficiency and is only available from Hargassner. Read more about the EC fan here: EC Exhaust Gas Fan

Flue gas re-circulation as standard    (8)
This helps control combustion temperatures and reduce NOx formation. It reduces the temperature of the grate to help prevent the formation of slag, and give a more even distribution of the fires heat. A cleaner and more complete combustion.

Integrated back-end protection   (9)
The pump, mixing valve and actuator needed to protect the boiler now comes integrated. This compact solution reduces the space required and speeds up installation time.

Patented ash and fly ash removal system   (10)
The ash extracting auger transports the fly ash and also the grate ash into the ash box. On the way to the ash box all the ash is compacted to a quarter of its volume - thereby saving space and lengthening emptying intervals.

No thermal safety valve required  (11) 
Speeding up installation time and cost

Combustion chamber surrounded by water  (12)
Maximum heat transfer and boiler control

Flame concentration jets out of high-end steel cast section   (13)

Double rotary valve dispenser (18) with cyclone suction system (14)
The unique double rotary valve allows continuous combustion even during pellet suction. The double valve provides a complete air lock between the combustion chamber and pellet hopper. The sound proofed suction system (15) with pellet level indicator (16) allows the end-user to place their wood pellet store up to 20 metres away. The suction system is closed and maintenance free (no filters).

Stainless steel stoker auger   (17)

One motor for everything
Boiler cleaning, fly ash transport, grate ash removal and ash transport to ash box is all handled by one drive motor. This is a single maintenance-free gear motor. This not only reduces the number of electrical components and increases operating reliability; it also saves on electrical consumption.

Hargassner App
Hargassner is the only manufacturer in this boiler class to have a dedicated and fully functioning iPhone and Android app to allow remote access. Other manufacturers produce apps that simply direct the user to a website. 

·         Switch circuits on/off and reduce temperature
·         Change heating times
·         Activate holiday mode
·         Status updates via notifications or email
·         Unlimited users
·         Worldwide access to heating system
·         Easy and intuitive

Fully refractory-lined combustion chamber
Hargassner boilers are fully refractory lined with high density bricks. Refractory has proven itself as the best material available in terms of heat storage, function and durability. The result is, even at partial loads, optimal combustion and fewer ignitions.

Negative pressure sensor to monitor under/over pressure events
Boilers without negative pressure monitoring cannot detect blockages in the heat exchanger. In addition, exhaust gas and combustion air fans do not speed up nor slow down in relation to the pressure inside the boiler - making other boilers less efficient. 

Standard warranty of 5 years, option to extend up to 10 years

Nursing home group goes Green

Spa Nursing Homes Limited converting four care homes to wood pellet fuel in 2014



Spa Nursing Homes selected Green Energy Technology Ltd., (GET) to convert their care homes from heating oil to wood pellet fuel. The first home has been completed, with GET installing an award winning Hargassner wood pellet boiler in a turn-key plant room at The Spa Nursing Home in county Down.




This 'GET Heat Module' is constructed off site, to minimise disruption at the nursing home. Once it is delivered to site, it can be connected to the building and provide heat within 2 days. During this time there is no interruption to the existing heating performance.

In addition to the nursing home in The Spa, GET will be converting homes in Crumlin, Carryduff and Ballynahinch from heating oil to wood pellets.


Externally the GET Heat Module is finished to a high standard, and is linked to a wood pellet silo. Any external pipework is insulated and protected.

The main driver for the installation of these systems at Spa Nursing Homes Limited is the Northern Ireland Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). The RHI pays the owners of wood pellet boilers for every unit of heat the boiler generates, this is an incentive for switching from fossil fuels. Although there are no grants to assist with the capital costs, the quarterly incentive payments mean that these projects have a payback of 4 years or less.

Damien Phillips, Project Manager at GET, stated: 'The four nursing home conversions represent a large investment by the group, however, there is a relatively short payback due to the RHI. Looking at the longer term, using Hargassner boilers means we have a high-tech solution requiring minimal involvement by nursing home staff, and GET has the ability to monitor each boiler remotely.'


The Hargassner wood pellet boiler is integrated with a complete plant room package.

The RHI scheme lasts for 20 years, and payments are index linked. In addition to the financial benefits of switching to wood pellets, it also means the nursing homes will reduce their environmental impact and help support local jobs. All pellets will be sourced from the island of Ireland.

Chris Arnold, from Spa Nursing Homes Ltd., commented; 'Overall the experience of moving away from heating oil has been relatively straightforward. Once we examined the financials and the overall benefits, it was an easy decision to make. We wanted a quality installation, Hargassner and GET met our requirements. GET took care of everything, right through to claiming the RHI payments. We are looking forward to working with GET on the rest of our properties.'

Damien Phillips continued; 'With a twenty year government incentive it is important that a quality product is used. Hargassner boilers are design to last. They are tried and tested, and if properly maintained they will last well over 30 years'.

Green Energy Technology Ltd. are based in Waringstown, between Banbridge and Lurgan, and have a showroom open to the public with working models of all technologies. Their previous biomass heating projects include Castlewellan Castle, Moy Park Poultry farm, as well as factories, offices and accomodation.

GET Heat Module - Renewable Heat Incentive



GET Heat Module

Craigavon firm Green Energy Technology has developed a unique range of mobile boiler rooms, specifically designed to run on wood pellets and wood chip

All equipment inside their GET Heat Module is accredited by the government Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Scheme, and Green Energy Technology are accredited installers.

The RHI scheme provides financial support to businesses switching from heating oil or gas. The scheme provides support for 20 years. Each wood pellet or wood chip boiler will have a heat meter fitted, and the business owner will be paid based on the heat output and size of boiler.

John Martin, Damien Phillips and Patrick Flynn

At the moment, these quarterly government payments represent a guaranteed 12-14% return on investment.

Damien Phillips, Commercial Manager at Green Energy Technology, commented;
“A combination of huge rises in fossil fuel prices, the security of wood pellet supply, and the Renewable Heat Incentive, has meant we have never been busier. Renewable heating systems now represent a very attractive option for businesses and community groups. Paybacks on these systems can be as low as 5 years. The GET heat module allows a business to switch to renewable heating with the minimum of fuss”

The latest GET Heat Module built by Green Energy Technology houses a 200kW wood pellet boiler, 16 tonne wood pellet store, 3000 litre hot water storage tank, alongside all the controls and pumps needed to run the boiler. This module will be heating a large office complex and call centre. The business installing the module will be able to cancel their fossil fuel bill, switch to cheaper wood pellets, and benefit from quarterly RHI payments.

200kW Hargassner Wood Pellet Boiler
The GET Heat Modules are entirely built at the Green Energy Technology complex outside Craigavon. This has allowed the company to employ local labour, and use local suppliers. Off site construction is quicker and minimises disruption to businesses, schools, care homes and community buildings. Once constructed and transported, the module simply needs to be plumbed in and wired up. Renewable heat is available within one day, instead of the weeks it can take to put an equivalent system together on-site.

The modules can house boilers from 15 to 200kW, and multiple modules can be fitted together for larger requirements. The smallest module takes up no more than a single car parking space.




Green Energy Technology Limited are based in Waringstown, Craigavon where they have a complex with showroom, conference suite, offices and working models of renewable technology. Company Directors, Patrick Flynn and John Martin, have been involved in renewable energy from 2002. The company installs;

-          Biomass heating systems
-          Wind turbines
-          Solar hot water systems
-          Solar electricity panels
-          Air source heat pumps

Official opening of first Zero Carbon house

Northern Ireland's first Zero Carbon House was officially opened by Environment Minister Alex Attwood & Irish Environment Minister Phil Hogan

All renewable energy equipment was provided and installed by Green Energy Technology Ltd, the company also supplied the whole house energy assessment used to achieve zero carbon standard.

The project was supported by councillors, MLA's, TD's and Ministers from Stormont and Leinster House.

L-R William Irvine MLA, Thomas O'Hanlan SDLP, Damien Philips, John McClatchey, Irish Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan T.D, Minister for Environment Alex Attwood, Heather Humpreys T.D Cavan-Monaghan, Dominic Bradley, Sean Conlon T.D Cavan-Monaghan, Mealla Campbell Deputy Mayor Armagh City & District Council

This home was able to benefit from the Low Carbon Homes Scheme, and as it achieved Zero Carbon standard the owner will not have to pay council rates for 5 years, unfortunately this scheme has now closed.

Further information on the build and technology used can be found here.

The home also benefits from hugely decreased running costs due to the energy efficient design and the renewable technology used. It is estimated that the running costs are up to 70% lower than a regular home.

Patrick Flynn (Director), Damien Phillips (Business Development Manager) and John Martin (Director) from Green Energy Technology Limited
Zero carbon houses will be the standard of building by 2016, but the builder of this home (Green Future Ltd.) have shown that zero carbon is achievable now, and at a sensible price.

All equipment installed by Green Energy Technology will also qualify for any Northern Ireland Renewable Heat Incentive.
