Homes in South West Dublin and what that means for heating
1930s–1950s semi-detached homes in Terenure, Kimmage, Walkinstown and parts of Rathfarnham, big 1970s–1980s estates in Tallaght, Firhouse and Knocklyon, and newer apartments around Citywest.
1930s–1960s homes frequently have systems added in stages over decades, with mismatched radiators and poor zoning. 1970s–1990s homes usually have a conventional boiler with attic tank and cylinder, often ready for a boiler and controls upgrade. Newer homes may have combi boilers, heat pumps or underfloor heating, where controls and commissioning are key.
What to check before you hire a heating engineer
- Check the installer's RGII registration for any gas work (rgii.ie)
- Ask for a service report or Declaration of Conformance after gas work
- For grant-funded work, check the installer meets SEAI's requirements
- Ask what the boiler or heat pump warranty needs (usually annual servicing)
- Get the heat-loss or sizing calculation for new systems

What heating issues are common in South West Dublin?
1930s–1960s homes frequently have systems added in stages over decades, with mismatched radiators and poor zoning. 1970s–1990s homes usually have a conventional boiler with attic tank and cylinder, often ready for a boiler and controls upgrade. Newer homes may have combi boilers, heat pumps or underfloor heating, where controls and commissioning are key.
How often should a gas boiler be serviced?
Once a year. It keeps the boiler safe and efficient, and most manufacturer warranties require it.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the property, don't use switches or flames, and call Gas Networks Ireland on 1800 20 50 50 from outside.
Are there grants for heating upgrades?
SEAI offers grants for heating controls, heat pumps and insulation, subject to conditions. Check seai.ie for current amounts before starting work.
Why are my radiators cold at the top?
Trapped air. Bleeding the radiator usually fixes it; if it keeps happening, the system should be checked.
