Driven by Optimization Ferme Breault et Frères Chooses a Biomass Heating System

It was therefore only natural for the family to turn to a high-performance solution when the time came to upgrade their heating system, with the goal of providing a healthy and comfortable environment for their animals, particularly newborn calves. Biomass heating quickly emerged as an ecological and reliable solution, well-suited to their agricultural reality. The farm invested in a fully automated Hargassner Eco HK 330 biomass boiler, fueled by wood chips through an automatic feed system requiring no manual filling. Offering optimal combustion, high efficiency, and great versatility, the system meets a wide range of needs, including heating multiple buildings, such as a large garage and two calf barns, preheating water in the milking parlour, and soon, grain drying.

What initially attracted the Breault family to this system was its ability to provide dry, consistent heat, an important advantage over propane, whose combustion generates higher humidity levels. By ensuring stable and comfortable ambient conditions, the farm directly supports animal health and well-being, resulting in positive impacts on productivity. This solution also allows for better control of energy costs and aligns with a sustainable approach by leveraging a renewable energy source produced directly on the farm.

To bring this project to life, the Breault family was able to rely on the expertise of Chaudières RP Inc.
