Renewables and insulation consultancy

renewables & insulation consultancy

welcome to reinco

Reinco is a renewable engery consultant firm based in Northern Ireland. Reinco was formed to provide independent, practical advice on all elements of the most comfortable home, the most healthy home, with the lowest running cost, achieved in an eco friendly manner and by most cost effective methods. Reinco is based in Cookstown, Northern Ireland.

why was reinco formed?

Eric Davidson found that visitors to Self Build shows were being confused by conflicting advice. He also met many people who spent several years amassing information but needed help evaluating and prioritising their data. On some building sites tens of thousands of pounds had been spent on low priority, slow payback technologies, leaving meagre budgets available for insulation and other items which should be given much greater priority.
