Why us
The person who quotes the job is the person who stands behind it.
For a boiler service, a repair or a new boiler in Cork, a local engineer gives you things a call centre cannot.
In short
A local engineer means one named person who knows your house, answers the phone and stands over the work. With C. Kenneally that is Christy Kenneally, who has run the business for over 25 years, with published prices and a 12-month guarantee on workmanship and materials.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is a local plumber cheaper than a national heating company?
It can be, because there is no call centre or sales commission in the price. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total. C. Kenneally publishes its prices so you can compare before you call.
