Feedback from the Jonathon Toulson, Wai Tapu Contrators, Christchurch pellet boiler installer.
"The system went together really easily and was a breeze to set up. The controls are easy to use and the setup is clear. Once all the inputs, like the pump and sensors, were connected to the boiler it recognised all the components and we got them functioning with a few clicks on the controller.
The boiler worked as soon as the basic programme was set.
We were really surprised at how clean-burning the boiler is. We went outside to look for smoke from the flue but there wasn’t any so we thought maybe the boiler had stopped. Going back inside the house we checked it was still operating and sure enough the boiler was heating at 100% capacity and there was no flue gas visible from the chimney.
We are REALLY excited about these boilers!"

Apricus brings the latest renewable hot water technologies into the New Zealand market, leading with innovative solar hot water collectors, CO2 hot water heat pumps and pellet biomass boilers. We aim to offer the most reliable eco alternatives to burning fossil fuels like gas, oil and coal.
Our products include:
Our pellet biomass boilers are produced by one of Europe's leading manufacturers, ÖkoFEN, a specialist in pellet boilers and a supplier of space-saving, cost-effective, simple solutions for storing pellets. Offering storage tanks suitable for all space and pellet requirements. The pellet boilers can provide enough hot water for even the most extensive home heating needs, using radiators, underfloor pipework, or a combination. The wood pellets burned are made in New Zealand from waste sawdust and wood shavings, providing 100% renewable heating, whatever the temperature outside.
Our range of hot water heat pumps use some of the most environmentally friendly refrigerants while offering outstanding performance. The very low global warming potential makes these systems the perfect electric alternative to gas hot water systems. Households can now reduce their energy costs and improve the sustainability of their home with ease.
The Apricus solar systems have robust frames, easy-to-use controllers and high-efficiency pumps. The high-performance, reliable designs can withstand New Zealand’s extreme environmental conditions. This is combined with a careful focus on quality and continual improvement by the team at Apricus International.
