Significant energy savings and increased efficiency

Strand Road Shelter

Strand Road Shelter, located in the heart of Derry City, was originally planned as a hotel.

However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, due to changes in the city's economy, the owner, Declan O'Donovan, decided to convert it as a homeless shelter. The building underwent significant renovations, including the installation of two new gas boilers, hot water tanks, and radiators.

After consulting with mechanical engineers, Declan decided to choose Genius Hub as the system to control the building's heating, finding it the most user-friendly and energy-efficient.

How did you control your heating before?

I had no control system prior to engaging with Genius Hub. My mechanical engineers had spec’d a complex hardwired system offering limited controls.
What was your main consideration before purchasing the Genius Hub system?

Energy saving. Heating a 17-bed hotel could be very expensive if not controlled adequately given the number of rooms which are largely unoccupied most of the time.
What do you feel contributed most to your decision to buy Genius Hub?

The level of controls available, timing and instant online control of every zone. It was a lot easier and more accessible than other options available.
What do you like about the system?

The level of controls available and the app generally works very well.
How much have you saved to date on your energy bills, as a result of having the Genius system installed?

It’s still hard to know the exact figures, but we are estimating that we will have saved around £2000 this year on heating costs.
How user-friendly do you find the system?

The system is very user friendly. On occasion, adding or amending wireless components can be a little tricky, but the online videos are very useful.
How would you rate your experience with Gaia Smart Energy, and would you recommend our company to others?

Joe is very knowledgeable on the installation of these systems and has been adaptable to changing plans and specifications. He has dealt with all teething issues very professionally, meaning that we now have a system that runs very well currently.

I will not hesitate to contact Joe for the next project.

“We have saved on average 45% on our gas consumption which has been vital during the current climate.”

The Belfry Hotel, Birmingham

"We were extremely pleased to calculate that the Genius Hub has saved us 64% off our heating costs meaning that the system has about a 2 year payback on the cost of installation.”

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".

Josh Firth

"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!"
