Thirty years of TP Gas Services

27 Feb , 2017  

TP Gas Services Plumbing & Heating Ltd will celebrate 30 years in business in 2017. Over the past three decades, the Limerick-based company – which recently relocated to the Dock Road – has become known for its reliability and superb aftercare service.

Serving domestic, commercial and industrial clients, TP Gas Services boasts a large and prestigious customer-base which includes the likes of Gas Networks Ireland and Limerick City and County Council. Customer satisfaction is of paramount importance to the family-run operation which has grown to employ 14 staff and has a fleet of 10 vehicles covering the Mid-West. The successful plumbing and heating business was established by Tony Payne, who remains a director along with his wife Catherine and son David, and was a representative for all gas installers in the region at national level for many years.

The services TP Gas Services provides are tailored to meet the needs of clients. These include: gas leak response; boiler installation; boiler repair, boiler replacement; boiler maintenance; boiler service; central heating; plumbing services; appliance installation; piping fabrication; piping installation; 24-hour emergency service; SEAI grants; carbon monoxide alarm installation.

The company only uses state-of-the-art modern equipment for gas leak detection and flue inspections. Each member of the TP Gas Services team is qualified to the highest standard under IS 813 and IS 820, the Irish standards for domestic and non-domestic installation, service, commissioning and repairs.

“We employ 12 fitters who are highly skilled, professional and friendly. Since 1987, we’ve earned a reputation for excellence, dependability and value-for-money. We offer free on-site quotations with absolutely no obligation. We pride ourselves on our aftercare service,” David says.

TP Gas Services has built a substantial domestic client-base mainly through word of mouth. The company can cover all aspects of heating and plumbing needs in the home, including boiler repair; boiler servicing; central heating; bathroom installation; bathroom suites; power showers; heating system upgrades; general heating; general plumbing.

The Limerick firm’s two main clients are Gas Networks Ireland and Limerick City and County Council. As their only sub-contractor in Limerick and serving the Mid-West, TP Gas Services performs a range of vital work on behalf of Gas Networks Ireland such as domestic, commercial and industrial gas commissioning and gas meter fitting. The company always has two team members on call 24/7, 365 days a year in order to carry out leak response work. The leak response unit serves Limerick City, Co. Limerick, Ennis, Shannon, Killaloe, Ballina, Newport, Nenagh and Charleville.

Limerick City and County Council is another valued client for whom TP Gas Services has been carrying out gas installation and servicing for many satisfied customers over the past few years. As with Gas Networks Ireland, a 24-hour emergency service is provided on behalf of the local authority.  TP Gas Services also has servicing and installation contracts with Ireland’s leading housing association, Respond Housing, and Limerick Regeneration to name but two.

“We cover counties Limerick, Tipperary, Clare and Cork. With 30 years’ experience in gas services, the satisfaction of our clients is our number one goal. For this reason, we offer real reliability and a fantastic aftercare service,” David continues.

“We recognise that there is nothing more frustrating than booking an appointment for heating or plumbing services, only for it to seemingly take forever for your installer to set a date. Similarly, the installer can then often be hard to reach if you are experiencing problems with your equipment.

“With TP Gas Services, you get a straight-talking and no-nonsense service. With 12 fitters working for us, we endeavour to always meet any appointments set. Furthermore, if you’re having issues, you are guaranteed a call back from a member of our team. We aren’t happy until you are!

“Whether you’re a domestic, industrial or commercial customer requiring service or repair work, we’re only a phone call away.”

TP Gas Services is an accredited installer for Worcester Bosch products, which includes gas and oil boilers, hot water cylinders, renewable technologies such as heat pumps and solar water heating systems, as well as control and accessories. Worcester Bosch boilers have received the coveted UK Which? Best Buy awards for four years running.

In addition, the company is a registered installer with the SEAI under the Better Energy Homes Scheme. The purpose of the Scheme is to encourage people to improve the energy performance of their homes by incentivising the cost of installing various upgrade measures. It aims to give assistance to homeowners to reduce their energy use, heating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The Scheme not only results in warmer and more energy efficient homes, but also saves the owner money on their heating bills in the long run.

TP Gas Services’ recent move to a new premises means the company is better placed than ever to serve the needs of its clients.

“We’ve relocated to Ashbourne Business Park from Lansdowne Park. Apart from being a better location, the premises is much more spacious and gives us scope to grow the company further in the coming years,” David concludes.
