What we do

Measure it, reduce it, keep it compliant.

Every project starts with a measured baseline. From there we deliver the project, maintain what we install and advise on what comes next, with one team accountable throughout.

Measure

See where the energy actually goes

You can only manage what you measure. We install smart meters and sub-meters on electricity, gas and water, down to individual lines and plant where it matters. Within weeks you have an hourly profile and a baseline to work from, in place of a monthly bill.

The data goes to TICCbox, our cloud platform we have built and run in-house for over ten years. It works with most existing meters so you are not starting from scratch.

Reduce

First job, cut the waste

Most sites pay for energy at night and at weekends when little should be running. Controls, scheduling and lighting upgrades usually remove most of it, at a fraction of the cost of new plant.

Solar PV, heat pumps and electrification come next, sized to the load we have measured. We design and install them ourselves, under one contract.

Maintain

Keep it safe and keep it certified

Planned maintenance, emergency lighting, PAT testing and electrical certification to current regulations, carried out by our own engineers and electricians.

Assets are tagged and every inspection is recorded in our compliance software, so certificates are ready when an auditor or insurer asks for them.

How a project runs

You can bring us in at any stage.

  1. 1

    First conversation

    We review your bills, your sites and the data you already have.

  2. 2

    Metering and analysis

    Meters go in and measured consumption replaces estimates.

  3. 3

    Energy balance

    We show where the energy goes, which loads matter most and what to tackle first.

  4. 4

    Funding and grants

    We identify the schemes that apply and manage the application.

  5. 5

    Delivery and proof

    We deliver the work, then measure again to confirm the saving.

What we commit to

Reduce costs

Lower energy and installation costs, and income from generation where the site allows it.

Meet accreditation

We work to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 on every site.

Work responsibly

Safe working for our staff, clients, subcontractors and the public.

Keep improving

We introduce new technology to the sites we look after once it has proven itself.

What is available

Grants are part of the job

We prepare the application, gather the evidence and handle the reporting as part of delivering the project.

Rates and eligibility change each year, so we confirm what applies to your project at the time.

  • Enterprise Ireland and Local Enterprise Office support of up to 50% towards energy monitoring and metering
  • SEAI grants towards the capital cost of energy upgrades
  • Accelerated Capital Allowances on Triple E registered equipment
  • Other schemes as they open and close through the year, which we keep track of for you

How grants fit into your project

The same three stages on every project.

  1. 1

    Measure first

    Applications are judged on evidence. A metered baseline gives the assessor what they need, and it is the part most applicants cannot provide.

  2. 2

    Apply and confirm

    We match the project to the right schemes, prepare the submission and wait for approval before anything is ordered.

  3. 3

    Deliver and verify

    Once the work is complete, we measure again. The verified saving closes out the claim and gives you figures you can stand over at board level.

Ask us before you spend

A short conversation early is worth more than a late application. Tell us what you are planning.
