McCallums Group Laundry
An innovative, Invercargill-based commercial laundry has cut the greenhouse gas emissions from its boiler by a massive 97% by becoming one of the first laundries in the country to install a wood chip boiler for heat.
Description of facility:
JA McCallum and Son Limited (known as McCallum Group) provide laundry and dry cleaning services in Southland and Otago. Their old industrial boilers, which were operating at full capacity, were running on LPG and light fuel oil which was expensive. Plans to move to a new site presented McCallum’s with the ideal opportunity to look at alternatives.
In addition to the emissions reduction, the new wood chip boiler has reduced their energy costs by nearly two thirds.
