Commenting on the announcement, Paul Stanfield Director of Sales, Marketing and Customer Operations with firmus energy, said “Newry is a key town in our network area, we are pleased to announce such a significant investment which helps re-emphasise our commitment to the local area. The network extension inevitably leads to an increase in the demand for firmus approved natural gas installers.
“We have a number of dedicated installers who work along with the local firmus energy advisory team in the Newry area to help ensure seamless service provision across the board. New customers can enjoy in the cost and environmental benefits natural gas has to offer.
“Domestic customers have the benefit of constant hot water and instant heat, and gas can also be used for appliances in the home such as gas hobs, tumble driers and modern gas fires which can be lit at the touch of a button rather than having to lift heavy logs and coal.”
