Dr Alastair Chestnutt, Ballyward, S. Down
Eric's reviewed our house plans and guided us through decisions, concerning heating, insulation, air tightness, ventilation and heat recovery, and rainwater recovery. He provided the sensible, balanced, detailed advice of someone who has long experience in the building industry. He reduced the stress of making decisions and made us more confident that we've done our best with the build. His advice is a best buy.

Nothing prepared us for the amount of conflicting advice we received when we began planning our build. We eventually decided that the only way to get impartial guidance was to pay for it and hire a professional. Word of mouth brought us into contact with Eric Davidson and we first spoke in November '08. Six months later we finally started building. Eric's advice has been absolutely crucial in every stage so far and will be right up until we move in. He has opened our eyes to how inefficient modern houses are built and has challenged the seemingly endless amount of bad habits that seem to be endemic within today's building industry. Best of all, Eric remains in contact throughout the entire project which is invaluable in the many situations that crop up where decisions need to be made quickly on site. We simply couldn't imagine doing this project without Eric's guidance.

My fiancé and I are starting are our first, and hopefully our only self build, and honestly had no idea where to start with regards to insulation, heating systems etc. We met with Eric, who kindly visited our site in Mayo, and gave us excellent and impartial advice on how to proceed. We are building a house just over 3300 square foot, with 200mm cavity walls, and grey bead insulation. Eric has helped us on sourcing suppliers for this. We are also going to use ground source heating, combined with underfloor heating and a heat recovery ventilation system. We have listened to everybody either loving or hating their systems, so it was great to get honest and impartial advice, which has given us clear focus on what we are trying to achieve with the build (even if it is raising a few eyebrows from builders along the way!) Hopefully we will reap the rewards of what we are putting into this, and it is great to know that Eric is only a phone call away should we need assistance....

With the plethora of systems out there I was overwhelmed and unsure as to whom to go with. Unfortunately when dealing with companies I found they want to sell their system and not necessarily the best solution for me, this was obvious from their conflicting information. Eric laid out the facts, specified the right system & whom to contact. Best money I have spent so far!

Building a house and thinking of renewable energy? To maximise the benefits and minimise the costs both now and future running costs, you will need the expertise of someone who has wide and varied practical experience of designing and implementing such systems. Even though I thought I had carried out in depth research into using renewable energy efficiently Eric Davidson was able to point out a number of areas where significant additional benefits could be achieved for relatively small additional investment. His advice was invaluable.

"Eric Davidson gave us invaluable guidance at a time when we were overwhelmed by facts and figures. His knowledge and experience of insulation and renewable heating methods enabled us to make confident, informed choices for our individual build."
Michelle Carroll - Co Fermanagh
"Eric Davidson gave us excellent advice and nothing was ever too much trouble. He provided a reliable follow up service and kept his word on each time frame he gave us - something which is essential when building a house. I would recommend Eric and have done so to many people. I am 100% pleased with the outcome and service. We have a well heated home, ample hot water supply and most importantly a pocket friendly heating system!"
Martin McNeill - Co Down
"With Eric Davidson's unsurpassed knowledge of insulation systems and renewable energy technologies, a tailored solution was developed for our new build project. We now have a home that can be heated economically without costing the Earth".
Owen and Leanne Treacy -Carrickmore
“Eric has proved to be an invaluable asset when planning our new build and in subsequent dealings with suppliers of renewable technologies. His experience has helped guide us through the maze of information and helped deliver a home we are very happy with.”
