Testimonial by homeowner Grianne Lynch:
Grianne Lynch – I started building my house in 2011. My main concern was heating and insulation after the previous bad winter. I didn’t want to go down the gas and oil route as the prices of both just seemed to be going up and up. I met with Maurice to view the Nilan compact heat ventilation system. Heat recovery was very important to me as one of my children has asthma and this system is of great benefit to her health. I put in the above system with geothermal source and underfloor heating. I find the system very comfortable to live with and supplies ample hot water for 2 adults and 5 children. The system basic daily use is user friendly.
I got my electrician to fit a meter box to this system so I could monitor my cost, after 15 months of 24/7 underfloor heating (except in summer months) and hot water my cost ex vat was 704 euro!!! I’m thrilled with this as our house is 3000 sqft. The back up Maurice provides is excellent and of great comfort.
