Our Manufacturing Processes

Throughout the Firebird 40 year history, we have always invested heavily in the very latest technology to automate and streamline production in order to meet rapidly changing market demands and future needs.

Technical Support

As all of our products are developed in-house, we have a highly experienced and knowledgeable team who provide extensive product familiarisation courses at our centre in Cork, Ireland and Newry, Northern Ireland. All technical support and after sales calls are managed by our technical team in house, providing the highest quality technical support and guidance.

Our Vision for the Future of Home Heating

With a clear focus on renewables and sustainability, Firebird has invested heavily in developing products with increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and products that use more renewable and sustainable fuel sources. Through our Research & Development Centre, we have been developing new renewable heating solutions and products such as the Firebird Enviroair Air Source Heat Pump, as well as a wide range of supporting products and solar solutions. Firebird also manufactures the most efficient condensing oil boiler on the market, the Firebird Envirogreen, at 97.5% efficiency and NOx emissions as low as 60mg/kWhr (half the EU limits), thereby ensuring the use of very little fuel – kinder to the environment and to customers’ pockets. These boilers are also HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) ready.

WORKING TOWARDS A GREENER PLANET.

Testimonials

Joseph Sabien, Sea Sanctuary CEO said: “As a charity we are grateful for kind acts and great levels of customer care that help keep our services operating smoothly. Recently market-leading heating specialists Firebird did just that. On behalf of Sea Sanctuary and the children and adults we support, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Firebird for the invaluable help in resolving our long-standing heating issue. Not only did Firebird resolve the issue for us, including a discounted system, they effectively managed the issue for us and introduced us to a fitter who travelled down from the North to undertake the work. It’s extremely rare to find this level of customer service and kindness, and we are all extremely grateful for their help - Firebird is truly a five-star rated business.

Firebird has worked closely with Westmeath building contractor Mike Maloney, in recent years to deliver renewable NZEB compliance projects. “For us as developers and building contractors, it can be challenging to ensure we comply with new regulations, particularly in relation to new builds, which is why it has made my life so much easier to work with Firebird,” Mr Maloney stated. “I know and trust Firebird to deliver the expertise and the quality products that are required to meet today’s standards.

Firebird was the ideal choice for the projects particularly given the product permutations it offers” Brendan explained. "Before the refurbishment of these sites, heating in these buildings was provided by large, inefficient cast iron boilers,” engineer Brendan McGrath described. “Although the properties were well insulated, areas of the buildings were un-zoned, which posed a problem as the car showrooms needed to maintain a comfortable temperature for customers and staff in the adjoining office areas. I needed a heating system that would rapidly respond to the needs of the client in all weather conditions." “I had used Firebird products in the past and had always been satisfied with the performance, reliability and support given, so they were an obvious choice for this project."

There were two cast iron boilers in place but they were inefficient and not doing the job the cathedral required,” explained Mark McGavigan. “We installed Firebird C100 Enviromax Popular Boilers in a cascade format and they are superb. It used to take the old boilers two hours to heat the church but the new Firebird system takes just 15 minutes. The Firebird boilers were really straightforward to install too, so overall, we were delighted with this project.“I’ve definitely been converted to Firebird. The boilers are highly efficient and easy to install while the back-up service from the company is of a really high standard.”
