I got the Orca air to water heat pump installed in 2010 and I can see the benefits. My main reason for it was to get rid of the electric shower which could be going 3 times a day, and the electric bills were huge. The second reason, I looked at solar but I wanted a system that gave me 24X7 hot water, 365 days a year and with solar you won’t get that.

Frank came down to me in Meath and installed the kit the same day. He is extremely helpful in all aspects of the kit form sales to install.

I have seen the savings this month with the ESB bill and it very noticeable. The system is cheap to run, and if you have a back boiler or stove, this can be an added benefit to top up the system.

Thanks again Frank for everything!!!!

 

Frankie installed an Orca air to water heating system at my home in Donegal 8 months ago.
The system was installed within one day without any fuss into a complicated existing multi-fuel house hot water and heating system.

This replaced and surpassed the original oil boiler water heating.
To date this system has provided constant 24hrs hot water at 50 degrees with total efficiency and economy.
The economy was easily shown by the units own power supply usage meter which in the current cold snap is providing hot water for approximately 2 units of electricity per day, which even with the latest ESB unit rise is only 36 cents a day with the unit working constantly and quietly for the full 24hrs.

Neighbours nearby who installed solar panel water heating at the same time as our Orca system have had to supplement their water heating every month since their installation with power consuming immersion heating.

Frankie provided a second to none service, dealing with any query. Unlike many professionals he answered his mobile when phoned and promptly.
He is not a high pressure salesman but an expert and enthusiast for this energy efficient system providing great customer care.

He has undertaken a complete bathroom refit and kitchen fitting for me, in addition to the energy saving installation and I can thoroughly recommend his services without any reservation whatsoever.

 

We built our house in 2010 and after a lot of research and advice from Frankie we opted to install the Orca water heating system.
As a result we have a system that provides us with a constant supply of hot water all year round at very little cost. (No electric showers or emmersion in the house and Frankie installed a metre to prove how little this costs to run per day)

In addition it is connected to the multi fuel stove which provides the system with a boost if necessary.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone and can safely say it is one of the best buys in our house.

 

We had one of these systems fitted last week by Sweeney Renewables. A great job done by a professional outfit.

I installed the Orca air to water heat pump cylinder in 2010 and I could not be happier with its performance to date. I was looking for an economical, environmentally friendly and maintenance free system to provide constant hot water. I researched many different products and was leaning towards a solar panel system. I contacted Frank Sweeney to discuss my options and he explained the Orca system to me. It was exactly what I was looking for, and even now exceeds my expectations.

The Orca heating system also offers the option to connect an external heat source and I have a multi fuel boiler stove connected to it..

The system gives me a constant supply of hot water all year round at 50 degrees for a cost of around 20-28 cents a day. It saves me money on electricity as I don’t need an electric shower, my heating oil is used solely for central heating and during the summer I don’t need to use my stove.

This system is so convenient and quiet that sometimes I actually forget its there. I would really recommend this system to anyone. Frankie Sweeney is the man to speak to, if you need guidance on renewable energy systems.

Thanks Frankie.

Two years ago I began building my house. My primary aim from the onset was to have a high energy efficient house. Given the economic structures at the time the price of oil was going through the roof and having serious reservations, I realised that I needed to look to other options other than having my house solely heated by oil.

I researched the area of heating thoroughly, in fact, building had stalled a couple of months as I was unsure as to what was the best option available to me. I looked at multiple options from solar, oil etc. I knew Frank Sweeney had a new system on the go so I decided to have a consultation with him regarding my options. He outlined the good aspects and bad aspects to each of the systems I mentioned.

Frank could have installed any of the aforementioned. However, the one that really caught my attention was the Orca air source heat pump. I carried out a little research as to this new system of heating to see if it was as good as Frank said. He showed me one in operation where he had a metre installed. I really couldn’t believe the set up. I decided to go with this new set-up and I can honestly say I do not regret it for a moment. So good is it, that I have recommended to two of my colleagues who are in the process of building their houses. They have visited my house and I think their minds are made up already. This system does exactly what it says on the tin!

Frank got the contract to install all my plumbing and heating facilities. I asked him to put a metre on my Orca heat pump and the results are amazing, hot water all year round at an amazing price. I have an extremely well insulated house and I do not have to worry about hot water anytime. I would definitely recommend talking to Frank regarding this system. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you Frankie for installing and supplying the Orca water heating system in our home back in June 2008, it supplies us with constant hot water and has considerably reduced our electricity bill; by approximatley €150 every two months. As a result of the retro fit we no longer have electric showers in our house as they have been replaced by power showers which are much better. We also no longer have an immersion which we often forgot to turn off!

In addition we are saving oil because the system is fuelled by the air in the house but we have the option of using the oil as a boost if required. I would reccomend this system to anyone, and thank you again as having six in the family constant hot water is a important factor for keeping the house going. A very happy customer!

When building my house I wanted a system that was easy on the environment, economical to run and provided constant hot water to meet the demands of a young family. After a lot of research trawling through brochures and talking to others who had various systems installed (including solar) I chose the Orca Air to Water system. We have had the system since 2011 and would highly recommend it to anyone. This Product will spoil you.

I got my Orca air/water heat pump cylinder installed 6 months ago and it has been a great success. I get constant hot water daily at a low cost. The cylinder is easy to use, quiet and does not require any upkeep. Having it installed means I do not require electric showers therefore cutting out the added installation of a pressure pump and the added electric running costs this entails. It is easy to run with an intelligent timer system that requires no maintenance.

I weighed up the alternatives of other devices like solar panels, for example, to provide me with domestic hot water, but looking back now I am delighted I opted for the efficient Orca cylinder that provides me with hot water all year round. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering upgrading their old emmersion or for a new build.
