Windhager is a European manufacturer of renewable and high‑efficiency heating systems, specialising in Heat pumps, biomass boilers, pellet boilers, wood chip systems, log boilers, and hybrid heating solutions for residential and commercial buildings.
Windhager are widely regarded as a premium heating manufacturer, known for engineering quality, reliability, automation, and low emissions, particularly in biomass heating systems.
Windhager heating systems are designed and manufactured in Austria, a leading country in renewable and biomass heating technology.
Windhager manufactures:
- Heat pumps (Air Source and Ground Source)
- Wood Pellet boilers
- Wood chip boilers
- Log (wood gasification) boilers
- Hybrid heating systems
A Windhager pellet boiler is an automatic biomass boiler that burns compressed wood pellets to produce heating and hot water with very high efficiency and low emissions.
Depending on the system:
- Wood pellets
- Wood chips
- Seasoned logs
Fuel quality must meet the specifications defined by Windhager for safe and efficient operation.
The cost of a Windhager boiler depends on:
- Boiler type and output size
- Property heat demand
- Fuel storage requirements
- Installation complexity
Typical biomass systems are a higher upfront investment than fossil fuel boilers but offer lower long‑term running costs.

Windhager boilers are designed to meet or exceed European efficiency standards, with modern biomass systems achieving very high seasonal efficiencies when correctly installed and maintained.
Many users report lower annual heating costs when switching from oil, LPG, natural gas or electricity, depending on:
- Fuel prices
- Insulation levels
- System configuration
Windhager systems should be installed by:
- Installers who are MCS Certified
- Authorised Windhager installers
This ensures safety, performance, and warranty compliance.

In many regions, renewable heating systems like Windhager biomass boilers and heat pumps may qualify for:
- Government grants
- Renewable heat incentives
- Local or regional subsidies
Eligibility depends on current schemes and local rules.
Biomass heating can be near CO₂ neutral when fuel is sustainably sourced, making Windhager systems popular for low‑carbon heating strategies.
- Check the control display for guidance
- Refer to the user manual
- Contact your installer or the Windhager support team
Windhager biomass heating systems require electricity for operation. During a power cut, the boiler will shut down safely until power is restored.
Choosing the correct system depends on:
- Property size and heat demand
- Fuel availability
- Space for fuel storage
- Budget and sustainability goals
A professional heat loss calculation is strongly recommended.
