Rich in History

Radiantly Warm Home

Situation:

Nestled in a valley surrounded by a winding river, this location is rich in cascading views and in its gold-mining history. Just an hour away from Nelson, Baton Valley was an established settlement in 1859 with a hotel, store, school, and racecourse. The owners lovingly rebuilt a replica of the original 1860’s Baton Hotel positioned on the historical land. With unpredictable weather and exposure to the elements, the owners needed a heating solution that would provide adequate warmth, was eco-friendly, high-quality with low running costs, and reliable.

Approach:

With access to a forest of wood, our 45kW Attack Wood Gasification Boiler paired with radiators was the perfect fit, aesthetically and practically for this central heating installation. Biomass or in this case wood-based fuel is an important part of the energy industry for New Zealand as it is a renewable fuel that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Log burner boilers require a lot of wood and produce a lot of energy that can be transferred into the water, so pairing two 1,000L buffer tanks is a necessity and optimises the efficiency of the heating system. This stored heat effectively heats the 12 DeLonghi radiators in each room of the rebuilt Baton Hotel.

Outcome:

We supplied our green and eco-friendly Attack 45kW Gasification boiler, x12 high-quality and reliable DeLonghi radiators, x2 1000L insulated buffer tanks, a 100L expansion vessel, and a thermostatic controller. The convenience of readily available fuel at the fingertips adds to the economical low on-going running costs, clean-burning, and provides a high combustion efficiency of 86%. By choosing this system, the owners have a radiantly warmed home that is green and sustainable for years to come.
