Heating, plumbing, air conditioning, and ventilation systems experience considerable loads in their day-to-day usage. The constant friction, heat, and moisture can cause extensive wear and possibly result in failure. To reduce that likelihood, as well as the cost of their repair, having a mechanical services agreement in place with a provider like Frontline Energy is vital. Our facilities management team of engineers and technicians delivers pro-active planned maintenance and responsive reactive maintenance to optimise efficiency and reduce costs.
Maintaining all heating, plumbing, air conditioning, and ventilation systems will result in less wear to your equipment, increase its longevity, and enable it to run more reliably and efficiently. This will keep repairs to a minimum and reduce outages or downtime.
When HVAC systems are regularly and expertly maintained, their running efficiency means lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills. For commercial and residential end users alike, this spells significant savings.
District heating is the concept that all of a development’s requirements for heating and hot water are met through a centralised plant room or supply. This can consist of multiple fuel sources typically delivering heat into the system through the same location. In Ireland this is typically a centralised plant room within the development and the heat is distributed from this point through highly insulated LPHW pipework. Residents are then billed for their consumption which is recorded by a heat meter typically placed before it enters the Heat Interface Unit (HIU).
The centralised nature of a District Heating system, that serves an entire community rather than individual systems heating the home of each community member, enables reductions in carbon emissions and running costs.
Lower running costs and maintenance mean lower energy bills for consumers, while the centralised system can provide improved comfort with hot water on demand 24 hours a day. District heating can also improve the energy rating of a connected home, potentially increasing its value.
