Infrared is efficient, lasts a long time, and is better for the environment
Sonas Co-Op & Café
A vibrant new cooperative establishment in the heart of Lisburn
Sonas Co-Op & Café, is reshaping the hospitality landscape with its unique combination of a grocer, café, and event space.
For Sonas, doing business responsibly is a big deal. They want to be smart with their resources, reduce waste, and spend money wisely. That's why they decided to use infrared heating—it's efficient, lasts a long time, and is better for the environment.
Sonas initially had a space with basic electric heating. Later, they became interested in how infrared heating could be beneficial.
This interest led them to contact Gaia Smart Energy for assistance. The upgrade was designed to align with Sonas' commitment to using resources wisely, indicating a focus on energy efficiency and sustainability in their heating solutions.
During the collaboration, we have been able to talk to them about their firsthand experience with the Infrared Heating System and their experience with our service.

The Mount Business & Conference Centre, Belfast
“The Smart Control system has saved 41% on our gas bills in the first month and 9% on our electricity.”
Sister Theresa, Siena Monastery, Drogheda
"So far we’ve calculated a drop in gas usage of 30% in April and 50% in May. With the motion sensors, there is a great deal of ability to control when and why the heat comes on".

"Always wanted the Nest thermostat in our house and had said it from the start of our new build. Had some resistance from the spark about installing Nest. So was very thankfully to find Joe through Nest Pro-installer. Who came on site and set up the system. Nothing was a problem, excellent service!"
