Most of the energy consumed in residential houses is as a result of fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels produces CO2, a greenhouse gas which causes climate change.

“I didn’t get a chance yesterday, but just to say, amazing workmanship, the fitters were brilliant. Tidied & cleaned up every day after themselves. The product is great. And thank you, we would highly recommend ye.”
“Heating costs have reduced by at least 50% since we installed Senator Windows. All of my friends and neighbours have remarked “oh have you built a new house, as it looks completely different with the new windows and door!” The new window design also improves safety in our home in the event of a fire, which most people don’t even think about. The whole process from fitting to after sales service was superb.”
“Your technician Richard has just left. This guy is an absolute gentleman. So polite. I'm delighted with the door. This is the second door I have had from Senator. Not only is the quality of the door outstanding but the cleanliness of the installers is second to none. No dust, mess or rubbish left at all. Installer cleaned everything up from the floor to the rad covers. I would highly recommend Senator and Richard the installer. First class service.”
Hi John, I just want to say thank you for your help while choosing the windows and doors. They all look perfect. The doors look great. Also, I just want to say a huge thank you to the three guys that fitted them today. They were very professional. Worked non stop all day to make sure that everything was finished to perfection. A credit to your company. Can you please pass on my thanks to them. Once again John, thank you for your help. It was much appreciated.
Great service and quality workmanship from the Senator Cavan team. From the initial visit and design drawings to the installation of windows and doors during winter, I couldn’t ask for a better service. This team have helped to transform my older house for renovation into a home. A great range of colours to choose from with helpful advice and guidance from Michael, and a great gang of hard working installers. Quality re-plastering and making good, and also cleaning up and the removal of all waste – highly recommended and reliable Company.
