What Our Customers Have To Say

We value our customer’s opinions.

Declan Twomey

Derek installed a 3 room system for me recently and i couldn’t be happier. The whole installation is so tidy and his knowledge is amazing. Having cool bedrooms these days is a lifesaver for sleeping too. Great customer service all round. Highly recommended. – Review

John Moloney

I recently had the pleasure of working with Res-temp Solutions in Cork, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. – Review

Claire O’Brien

This has been the best thing we have put into our house, it has meant a better night’s sleep for the kids and ourselves, rooms are cool in summer, warm in winter. The main reason we wanted to install air conditioning was our house got too warm in the summer, making it extremely hard to get a good night’s sleep. – Review

Replacing Heating System in Old House

James McFadden

“A great outfit! I wished to replace the night storage heaters as they were expensive to run, bulky, and gave out heat at the wrong time of day. Derek came and designed a new air source heat pump system with blowers in key areas. The work took three days, and Derek and PJ were diligent, tidy, and friendly and explained all the bits and bobs about the system. They cleaned up and left the place spotless. I cannot recommend them highly enough.“  – Google Review

FAQ

Popular Questions

Schedule a consultation, and our team will guide you through the process. We will assess your current setup and determine if you need to replace outdated heating systems, such as old boilers or insulation, to improve efficiency and comply with statutory obligations.

Most installations are completed within a week, depending on the project’s complexity.

Not always. Our solutions are tailored to minimise structural alterations. However, it is crucial to evaluate the building fabric to ensure that any structural changes do not compromise the insulation and airtightness of the property. This assessment helps identify defects that could impact the performance of the heating system and allows us to recommend suitable heating solutions based on the condition of the building’s insulation and airtightness.

Heat pumps often offer the best balance of efficiency and compatibility compared to other heating systems. Additionally, a pellet heating system is an environmentally friendly and carbon-neutral alternative to traditional heating systems. It is particularly suitable for renovations of old buildings, offering space efficiency when replacing oil or gas systems. Various subsidies are also available for its installation, making it a viable option for old houses.

The cost of replacing a heating system in an old house varies based on the system and property size:
Gas Central Heating Systems: €3,500–€7,000 (average for a three-bedroom home).
Heat Pump Systems: €8,000–€18,000 (higher upfront cost, but long-term energy savings).
When considering the heat pump’s cost, it’s important to factor in the financial implications and potential savings. Although the initial installation cost is higher, government incentives and grants can significantly reduce the expense. Homeowners switching from gas boilers to heat pumps can benefit from these financial aids, leading to substantial long-term savings.
Additional expenses may apply for upgrading pipework or installing underfloor heating. Book a consultation for a detailed quote.

Yes, especially during larger renovations. It’s a great way to improve comfort and efficiency. Properly insulating your home, particularly the floors, is crucial for maximizing the benefits of underfloor heating. Insulating helps create a thermal boundary that prevents heat loss, ensuring that your underfloor heating system operates efficiently and maintains a comfortable living environment.

Typically, no. However, listed buildings may require permissions. We’ll advise you.

Absolutely. Modern systems are designed for high efficiency, which lowers monthly costs. Additionally, homeowners can receive energy efficiency upgrades grants, such as insulation and air sealing, at little to no upfront cost if they qualify. These energy upgrades not only improve home comfort but also significantly reduce energy bills.
