Setting New Standards in Sustainability For over 40 years Firebird, headquartered in the Gaeltacht in Baile Mhic Ă?re, Co. Cork, has been a global market leader in designing and manufacturing high performance solutions for the home heating market, with a worldwide customer base.
Firebird Heating Solutions is one of the first to trial and test HVO in Ireland. Its trials are proving how household greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced by 90% with CO2 emissions decreasing by up to 6 tonnes annually. It requires little or no modification to the existing home heating system - no significant investment or capital costs, simply the introduction of the Firebird HVO burner to deliver instant savings for the homeowner and environment.
Responsibility comes with being a market leader, and over the past number of years Firebird, with a clear focus on renewables and sustainability, has dedicated many resources and invested heavily in developing products with increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and products that use more renewable and sustainable fuel sources. Firebird’s mission is to play a pivotal role to support households, communities, and governments to adopt and strengthen its sustainability practices. Through its R&D centre, Firebird has and is continuing to develop new and groundbreaking renewable heating solutions and products for the market. These products include their Firebird Enviroair Air Source Heat Pumps, which are NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) compliant, with a low running cost PCB controller and high-tech intelligent heating controls, as well as a wide range of supporting products and solar solutions. Firebird also manufactures the most efficient oil boiler on the market at 97.5% efficiency and NOX emissions as low as 60mg/kWhr which is half the EU limits, thus ensuring the use of very little fuel which is kinder to the environment and to customers’ pockets.
