With a total of 154 houses in this development, it was important to get the heating and domestic hot water systems just right. D/RES, the developer and one of Ireland's leading sustainable private housebuilder, wanted to create energy efficient homes that would provide the homeowner with both comfort and reliability. Enter: Mitsubishi Electric. Mitsubishi Electric collaborated with McGuinness Mechanical , a leading mechanical engineering contractor, from the earliest stages of this project’s inception. The McGuinness design team worked closely with Mitsubishi Electric throughout the project’s lifecycle with the two collaborating on pre-site start-up meetings, on site visits, pricing, designs, heat loss calculations, selections and sizing the units.

“Mitsubishi Electric has reliability, green credits, sustainability and that sort of background to it and we felt that a partner like them with their knowledge, their background, their historical track record that’s really what we were looking to partner with”

However, for the homeowner the Mitsubishi Electric journey does not stop once the site is finished. All the household units are register to the INSTALL ME App, meaning the homeowner will get a notification when their unit is due to be serviced. To ensure maximum performance from an Ecodan Heat Pump throughout its working life, the system needs to be regularly serviced and maintained.
