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.
