A FREE alternative heating event organised by local Renewable Energy Consultants Ensoleir will be held on March 10 at Temple Gate Hotel. It is open to the public from 5pm with a seminar-style session for biomass installers beforehand.

The event will be of interest to anyone who wants to reduce their heating bills with the use of a renewable resource like wood and will inform about alternative heating solutions while also launching a new good value multifuel boiler.

Corofin-based company Ensoleir (short for Energy Solutions Ireland), who have recently been a major contributor to the first installation of a Miscanthus-fuelled boiler in Ireland, are now also providing domestic alternative heating solutions fuelled by wood and other solid fuels. In partnership with several wood energy suppliers and supported by Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland (SEAI) and Limerick Clare Energy Agency (LCEA), Ensoleir are offering a free-of-charge informative event on March 10 at the Temple Gate Hotel in Ennis.

“The alternative heating market has been identified as one of rapid growth over the coming years. The Limerick Clare Energy Agency is delighted to support the Getting Renewables Right event organised by local company Ensoleir and partners,” said Pat Stephens, Manager of Limerick Clare Energy Agency.

He welcomed the collaboration between local businesses by saying, “It is great to see local small business in the alternative heating sector coming together and pooling their expertise and resources to make themselves available to the public for questions and advice.”

The afternoon will start with a seminar for biomass installers at 2pm supported by speakers from the Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland (SEAI) and Limerick Clare Energy Agency (LCEA). Throughout the day there will be live demonstrations of a new boiler series in a tailored van that includes the complete heating system.

“In order to provide a good quality product to our customers we believe that we need to go beyond advising them about the benefits of our highquality boilers. We want to provide them with the necessary network to make sure that the installation and maintenance of the boiler as well as the delivery of wood pellets and the pellet quality and availablility are secured from the start,” said Fritz Mohn, founder and CEO of Ensoleir.
