Around Ireland, homeowners are availing of SEAI’s generous grant offers to improve the BER (energy performance) of their homes - last year alone, there was an increase of more than 30% in the number of homes upgraded to a BER B3 or higher.
Heat pumps are at the heart of Ireland’s transition away from fossil fuel heating systems in favour of clean, renewable, sustainable energy. Here at Daikin, our network of installer partners are busy every day helping Irish homeowners to make that switch.
Once installed, a heat pump is remarkably easy to operate and maintain. This clever technology requires minimal intervention from the homeowner so once it’s up and running, there’s very little for you to do!
As with all heating systems, however, it’s helpful to know a few basics. We asked Martin Evans, senior engineer with Daikin Ireland, to run through the most commonly asked questions about heat pumps.
