About District Energy
“Operating both in the residential and commercial sector for over 10 years, Frontline gained a lot of experience in dealing with District Energy Schemes and is now one of Ireland’s leading company in this sector. A District Heating Scheme or System (DHS) is a system for distributing heat generated in a localised and central location for residential and commercial heating and hot water requirements. As an Energy Management company, Frontline operates in both district heating and energy engineering sectors, and find this combination being extremely complimentary.
We take pride in providing a 360° service, that goes from an initial consultation, to installation, monitoring and assistance, and that sees all the members of our team working closely to ensure that all aspects of your project are carefully assessed and reviewed. Not only we provide the best technical services thanks to our highly qualified and experienced Engineers; Frontline Energy and Environmental also works to facilitate agreements to allow financing and enabling the investment to take place in a structured and transparent manner”.
The main benefits of having a District Heating System are:
Cost Effective
As wholesale gas rates are cheaper than domestic rates (especially if run together with a Combined Heat and Power plant) it allows consumers to have cheaper bills
Comfort and Convenience
A guarantee of an abundant and consistent supply of heat and hot water available instantly “on-demand”
Backup boilers and cost-effective 24/7 backup
available to ensure that any heating system downtime is keep to a very minor level
A greener environment
a DHS has a reduced level of CO2 and other pollutants emissions
No annual boiler maintenance fees
Future proofing
The system is such that as new technology becomes available it is possible to incorporate new sources of heating in the future
A noise-free living space
No boiler, no fuel, no odours, no noise
Safety
A safer environment for customers (reduces the chances of gas leaks or fires) as there is no boiler in the apartment or commercial unit
Higher property value
Apartments operating a district heating scheme will receive a higher energy rating under the Dwellings Energy Assessment Procedure operated by Sustainable Energy Ireland and will therefore increase their property value
