THE MANUFACTURER OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE HEATING SOLUTIONS HAS DEVELOPED PRODUCTS WITH INCREASED FUEL EFFICIENCY, REDUCED EMISSIONS AND WHICH USE MORE RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE FUEL SOURCES… Take control of your energy bills with Firebird’s high-efficiency boilers
A s we all look toward savings on outgoings amid the cost-of-living crisis, boiler efficiency is high on the list for consumers, installers and the industry as a whole. Over the past number of years, Firebird, manufacturer of high-performance heating solutions, has dedicated significant resources and invested heavily in developing products with increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and which use more renewable and sustainable fuel sources.
These savings would help alleviate the current pressure on households and businesses, which have seen home heating oil almost double in price. Plus, by using less oil, these boilers are much kinder to the environment. Firebird’s boilers are also fully compatible with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). A viable and sustainable drop-in replacement to kerosene, HVO is fossil- free and can reduce household emissions by up to 90%.
“HVO can work with any liquid fuel boiler and, if used in homes, can potentially make them almost carbon-neutral immediately. Our trials of HVO in Ireland have proven how household greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced by 90%, with CO 2 emissions decreasing by up to six tonnes annually, per home.” Mark Doyle added, “At Firebird, we passionately believe that we all have a part to play to reduce carbon emissions, and we believe HVO is not the future, it is the ‘now’. We are continuing to innovate and drive more sustainable heating solutions that help homeowners reduce their carbon footprint and future-proof their homes. Our responsibility to our customers and the environment is the key driver behind everything we do.” Firebird’s manufacturing site in Ireland and offices in England and Northern Ireland are fuelled by HVO, and the benefits can be seen every day.
Firebird has trialled and tested HVO in Ireland and the UK to prove that it can be implemented almost immediately.

Thanks to this drive towards innovation, Firebird now has the most efficient liquid fuel boilers in the market, at 97.5% efficiency and NOx emissions as low as 60mg/kWh, half the EU limits.
Research from The Sutherland Tables*, a reputable and established source of independent and impartial information on domestic heating costs, from September 2022 shows that, by upgrading from a standard efficiency boiler in a house built in the 1980s to a high-efficiency Firebird condensing boiler, there can be average savings of €1,300 per year on heating bills.
Elco HVO burner. Mark Doyle, General Manager at Firebird, explained how the introduction of HVO would be an instant game-changer for home heating. “There are about 1.5 million homes with existing liquid fuel boilers in Ireland and few choices are available for homeowners to adopt cleaner, greener heat solutions,” he stated.
