The Feedback

“We had to work very closely with ATC in order to bring this part of the project in on budget and on time. As we had very specific requirements it was great that ATC had the product range, knowledge and flexibility to meet our demands. We were very impressed when we visited the showroom and saw the product options on working display” Iain Fitzsimons-Designer engineer, John Paul Construction

“Our client has ongoing issues with LPHW radiators in other properties. Mainly, they are hard to control which leads to overheating in certain areas. With that in mind we were asked to look at electric heating for this site. We found that going electric offered certain advantages, including energy efficiency, installation cost savings and controllability. We proposed the Sunray RF heater as it has the most advanced control system and offers the client complete control over the usage of each radiator.

We found ATC easy to work with and very helpful in assisting us to specify the heating on this project”- Patrick O ‘Sullivan Project Engineer, JV Tierney

Overall the project in a high profile location adjacent to one of Dublin’s most established colleges was such a success that we received a much coveted award for it, EIFI Project Of The Year 2019 – Aungier Street Student Accommodation.
