- A fixed price before we start. In writing, from photos or a visit. If something changes on the day, we stop and agree it before going on.
- Punctual. We arrive when we say we will, and call ahead if we are delayed.
- Complete documentation. Declarations of Conformance, service records, warranty registration and SEAI grant paperwork, completed and sent to you.
- Clean and respectful. Dust sheets down, shoe covers on, and all waste removed.
- Honest advice. If a repair is not worth doing, or a heat pump will not suit your home, we will tell you.
Who we work for
Homeowners across Cork City and the surrounding area, landlords and letting agents who need reliable paperwork, and small businesses who need plumbing and heating that does not interrupt trading. See Who We Help.
Registered and insured
All gas work is carried out under Christy's Registered Gas Installer registration, oil work to OFTEC practice, and grant-funded work as an SEAI registered contractor. Public liability insurance is held. See Registrations & Guarantees.
Why it matters
Reliable heating and plumbing, year after year.
Most people only think about their heating when it stops. Our aim is that you rarely need to, and that when you do, a single call resolves it.
