We called this company a few weeks ago and were told they would call us back, but they never did. Maybe they are too busy to take on any new customers. Ireland is back of the queue for R290 heat pump installs it seems. So failing to meet 2030 climate targets seems well deserved for our country. If you're looking for an R290 heat pump you need to look at the main EU countries instead of here, or even the UK. The extra cost of getting installers to Ireland could be offset by savings on inflated equipment and install costs here. The SEAI grant seems to be factored in to the inflated heat pump quotes here, so it's pointless most of the time. There is a massive shortage in Ireland of people with the training and plumbing skills to meet the demands for R290 (propane) pump installs. And a lot of companies are still trying to shift outdated R32 heat pumps.

We had a heat pump installed by Mike and his team and they provided an excellent and efficient service. They also provide an outstanding aftercare service and have always been very responsive and helpful when we had any queries and when we wanted to make adjustments to the system. Its very reassuring to know they are always at the end of the phone if we ever have any problems in the future. Highly recommend.

I left a voice message for Mike on 16/11/23 to contact me. There was some problem with the heating getting through in my home. I had Mike return my call when his meeting was over. All was resolved there and then. Thanks so very much Mike. I gave you and your company a top marks review when you installed the system in my home two years ago. Now I give a top marks review again for how dependable, trustworthy, reliable and efficient you are in your immediate follow up in sorting this issue.The best reliable aftercare. I'm sure many agree this is a rare trait in a tradesman. Thank you so much again. Eileen

Pleasant to speak to on the phone. Helpful and took the problem onboard to help the customer resolve the issue with a 15 plus year old waterfurnace heat pump . Will certainly be in touch again should another issue with one of their heat pumps occur. The calls prevented call outs and expensive parts being needed

If you are looking for heating contractors look no further than here. I can vouch 100% reliability and professionalism from Mike and his team. They installed a heat pump system for my geothermal underfloor heating in my home. There was an issue after it was installed. Mike returned immediately after I made a telephone call and resolved the issue. Thank you so much and I am so fortunate to have found such a professional, meticulous, reliable,dependable, skilled and friendly tradesmen. Finally I have a cosy home.
