Heating Services
Heating Services Ireland
Heating isn’t something most people think about until it stops working, or until the bill arrives and makes them wonder why it’s so high. Cunningham Mechanical Services designs, installs, and maintains heating systems that actually match how a home is used, rather than defaulting to whatever’s easiest to fit.
We work across oil, gas, and increasingly heat pump systems, and we’re happy to talk through which setup suits your property before you commit to anything.
Home Heating Experts You Can Actually Talk To
A lot of heating quotes read like they were written for an engineer, not a homeowner. We try to do the opposite. Our team walks through your options in plain terms like what it costs upfront, what it saves over time, and what maintenance looks like five years down the line.
If your current system is tied to a boiler that’s on its last legs, it’s worth pairing this with our gas boiler services page, since boiler condition and heating system choice usually go hand in hand.
Eco-Friendly Heating Solutions
More households are moving toward heat pumps and hybrid systems, partly for environmental reasons and partly because energy-efficient systems cost noticeably less to run once installed correctly. The “correctly” part matters. A poorly sized heat pump underperforms and frustrates the homeowner, which is why we size every system to the actual property rather than a generic formula.
We also retrofit efficiency upgrades into older heating setups where a full replacement isn’t necessary yet, so things like improved zoning controls or smarter thermostats that cut waste without a full system overhaul.
Reliable Heating Solutions and Energy-Efficient Systems
Reliability and efficiency tend to get treated as separate goals, but they’re usually the same problem. A system that’s been installed properly and sized correctly breaks down less often and uses less fuel doing its job. That’s the standard we install to.
Every installation includes a full commissioning check and a walkthrough of the controls, so you’re not left guessing how to actually use the thermostat you just paid for.
Heating System Installation Ireland
For new builds, renovations, or straight replacements, we handle full heating system installation from initial site assessment through to commissioning. This includes radiator layout, pipework, and integration with your hot water system, so nothing gets left as an afterthought.
If plumbing work is needed alongside the heating install, our plumbing services team works as part of the same job, which keeps everything under one point of contact instead of coordinating two separate contractors.

How do I know if I need a new heating system or just a repair?
If your current system is over 12-15 years old, breaking down repeatedly, or can’t keep up with the property’s heat demand, replacement usually pays for itself faster than continued repairs. We assess this honestly during a site visit rather than pushing a sale.
Are heat pumps worth it in Ireland's climate?
Yes, modern heat pumps are designed for Irish and UK weather conditions and perform well even in colder months, provided the property has reasonable insulation and the unit is sized correctly for the space.
How long does a heating system installation take?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 1-2 days. Full new installations, especially with radiator or pipework changes, can take longer depending on the size of the property.
Do you service the heating systems you install?
Yes, and we recommend it. Regular servicing keeps the system running efficiently and protects the manufacturer’s warranty. Ask about our proactive maintenance plans for ongoing cover.
Can you upgrade an old heating system without replacing the boiler?
In many cases, yes. Improved controls, zoning, and radiator upgrades can boost efficiency without a full boiler swap, though we’ll tell you honestly if the boiler itself is the real bottleneck.
