“When it came time to replace the boilers for one of our largest buildings (about 41,000 square feet) on campus in 2010, The White Mountain School explored alternatives to oil and decided to replace the system with a pellet boiler system. Maine Energy Systems won the project with a competitive bid and has proved to be an excellent partner for us in this project even after installation. With the support of Maine Energy Systems, we’ve had minimal upkeep costs and have seen significant annual savings on our heating costs, even as fuel oil prices have dropped some since installation.”

Schools are an investment in our children. And, we want to help you teach a bigger picture of environmental responsibility.

We can put you in touch with schools who have made the transition. And, we understand the process because we’ve helped others through it before. You can have a completely hands-off heating system that is as easy as fossil fuel heat. That means, you can focus on what really matters for your students.

Furthermore, you would be doing the responsible thing by reducing your carbon footprint by 86%. And, the EPA has ruled that wood pellets are a carbon-neutral heat source. That’s an important lesson. Some states (like Maine) even require schools to thoroughly explore wood pellet heat before other fuels when replacing a heating system. Regardless of requirements, supporting local economies and fostering good forest stewardship is the right thing to do.

"Thanks to our MESys pellet boilers, we've started the process to go green and we've saved on fuel cost."

Ron D. of Crescent Park Elementary School in Bethel, Maine speaking about why he pursued and they adopted a wood pellet heating system to displace 80% of the school's oil usage.

By Erin Rhoda on July 30, 2011

“ANSON — Students here will no longer sit in classrooms that are warmed by heating oil. The school district is instead turning to an abundant Maine resource: wood. The district’s four schools are converting from oil-fueled boilers to wood-pellet ones, for a minimum net savings each year of $70,000, Superintendent Ken Coville said. The combined project will cut our facility heating costs about in half,” Coville said. “At the same time, it eliminates the use of approximately 65,000 gallons a year of oil, which reduces, ultimately, in a small way, the country’s dependence on foreign oil…”

The latest installations…”

MESys AutoPellet systems are designed to heat your household, business or institution and supply hot water needs. And, they operate similar to their fossil fuel counterparts by providing hot water and air for all your existing needs.

The wood pellets are delivered to your home or business in bulk. Then, pellets are stored in either an indoor or outdoor storage unit and automatically fed into the AutoPellet system.

And, MESys AutoPellet systems automatically compress ash into a suitcase-like system. Therefore, it requires only occasional removal and is completely contained.
