Frequently asked

Galway solar & heat pump FAQ

Are Galway's Atlantic winds a problem for solar panels?

No — panels we install are wind-rated to 2,400 Pa (equivalent to gusts over 200 km/h). Our fixings are engineered specifically for exposed west-coast roofs.

Do you cover Connemara and the Aran Islands?

Yes, we install across all of Co. Galway including Clifden, Roundstone, Letterfrack and by arrangement on Inis Mór.

Which is better for Galway — solar or a heat pump?

Both, ideally. A heat pump cuts heating cost (Galway's biggest energy line at ~€1,200/yr for oil) and solar cuts electricity. Together they typically save €2,000+ per year.

What about condensation and damp with a heat pump?

Modern air-to-water heat pumps run continuously at low temperatures, which actually reduces condensation compared to on/off oil systems. We include a whole-home ventilation check with every install.
