How does the system work?

The central boiler plant is fuelled by Natural Gas. Hot water from the central plant is pumped around the building as required to supply each apartment. There is a heat interface unit (HIU) in each apartment that converts this hot water into heating and domestic hot water. Local controls in each apartment enables customers to easily set their time schedules and temperatures to match their own requirements.

How do I operate the heating system?
The heating system is controlled using the Unipipe thermostat located in each individual room. Set the heating to on and the temperature required and the underfloor heating circuit will maintain the temperature at the times required.

How do I control the temperature?

The temperature is controlled via the Unipipe thermostat located in each individual room.

Do I need to program my Hot water?

No. Hot water is supplied instantly through a plate heat exchanger so there is no need to schedule your water use.

How are meter readings taken?

Meter readings are recorded for individual apartments via a central processing unit located within the central plant of the apartment complex; therefore, access to apartments is not required to take individual meter readings. Readings will be based on actual recordings of units consumed and not on estimated units of energy consumption.

What is involved in the billing process?

Bills will be issued bi-monthly based on your kWh energy consumption and a daily standing charge. Payment terms are 14 days.

What is the standing charge?

The standing charge is similar to the supply charge operated by Bord Gais and the ESB which relate the basic costs to service the system regardless of consumption. This charge covers carbon tax, gas supply point capacity charges and the system operation costs.

Kaizen Energy are responsible for the centralized plant & equipment (including the apartment HIU) and operate 24/7 cover; the out of hours emergency contact number is 086 057 5607. Should you have a problem with your internal apartment equipment such as pipes, valves, showers, taps or controllers please contact your landlord or management agent.

How is the standard consumption rate calculated?

Energy rates are calculated by using input gas costs and the system efficiency of the main plant and equipment on site. Our rates are currently not fixed due to global inflation in energy costs. Rates are now revised bi-monthly in conjunction with the management company and may increase or decrease dependent on gas rates and system efficiency levels.
