Background

Tom McDermott, lives in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, with his wife and four young children.

His home, built in the 1990s, relied on an oil burner for heating, which Tom found inefficient.

In 2022, during a time of rising energy prices, Tom decided to make his home substantially more efficient and cost effective.

The Challenge

"When we first moved in we had an oil burner…and I really didn't find it efficient."
- Tom McDermott, Ohk energy Customer

Tom explained that his busy 6 occupant home faced rising heating costs and had inconsistent comfort levels.

Ultimately, several key challenges were identified. These included:

Rising oil and electricity prices.
Inefficient heating system.
Retrofit with existing radiators.
Improve comfort levels.
Reduce overall heating costs.
