Hevac

What Hevac does

Hevac Limited is an Irish specialty distributor of sustainable HVAC system solutions, serving commercial, industrial, and high-density residential building services markets across Ireland. The company does not manufacture its own products; instead, it stocks and supplies a deep portfolio of third-party HVAC equipment and components — including ICI Caldaie industrial boilers (ranging from 7 kW to 20,000 kW), Wilo pumps and water management systems, Alfa Laval plate heat exchangers, Clivet R290 high-temperature heat pumps (under exclusive Irish distribution), De Dietrich commercial heating products, Lochinvar boilers, Nuaire ventilation, Flowair air handling units, Panasonic HVAC, Hamworthy heating, Danfoss, MAXA, Conex, Cosmogas, Arbonia, Henrad, Haverland, Sabiana, State, Brugg Pipe district heating systems, Jeremias flue, and Presstite press-fit plumbing. The product surface extends into Combined Heat and Power (EC Power, Indop, Tedom, YAZAKI), high-density residential solutions (heat interface units, EAHP, district heating, Polytherm underfloor heating), and a Spare Parts Depot for aftermarket service.

Hevac generates revenue through hardware sales distributed via five physical branches (three in Dublin — Naas Road headquarters, Santry, Citywest — and two in Cork) plus an e-commerce website with a trade account system for business customers. The company adds value through teams of technical engineers and system specialists supporting design-through-to-metering project workflows, and is described as one of Ireland's leading providers in this segment. As of 30 June 2025, Hevac Group (comprising Hevac Limited and the Tube Company of Ireland) employed 118 people (111 full-time, 7 part-time). Hevac Limited is a privately held subsidiary of Cooperstorm Limited, an Irish holding company, with no public listing, disclosed funding rounds, or ownership details beyond this parent-subsidiary relationship.

The company's competitive positioning rests on its national branch footprint with extensive stockholding facilities, a curated portfolio of premium European HVAC brands (including the exclusive Clivet THUNDER R290 heat pump distribution rights), and a technical engineering sales overlay that differentiates it from pure catalog distributors in the Irish market. Named reference customers include St. Mary's Hospital, Tesco Dun Laoghaire, the National Gallery of Ireland, St. Oliver Plunketts Hospital, Columban Missionaries (Dalgan Park), St. Raphaelas, and Vizes Court, indicating a project-led commercial book diversified across healthcare, retail, cultural, religious, residential care, and residential segments.

Direct peers

• Heat Merchants: Irish heating, plumbing and bathroom merchant group with a national branch network supplying trade and DIY customers. Most directly comparable to Hevac by virtue of overlapping Irish market, trade counter model, and similar product breadth across boilers, radiators, and plumbing fittings.
• Brooks Group (Brooks Heating & Plumbing): Irish-based distributor of heating, plumbing and bathroom products serving trade customers across multiple branches. Closely comparable to Hevac in market footprint (Ireland), customer type (building services contractors), and product categories (boilers, renewables, plumbing).
• Eurotec: Irish supplier of HVAC and renewable energy products including heat pumps, solar, and underfloor heating. Comparable to Hevac in the high-density residential and renewable HVAC distribution niche within the Irish market.
• Climate Velocity Controls (CVC): Irish distributor specializing in HVAC controls, valves, and balancing equipment for the building services market. Comparable to Hevac as a value-added technical distributor serving Irish mechanical contractors on commercial HVAC projects.

Broad incumbents

• Daikin: Global HVAC manufacturer with growing direct sales operations across Europe. Relevant as both a current/competing partner and a structural disintermediation risk — Daikin's expansion of direct-to-contractor channels in mature European markets could pressure independent distributors like Hevac.
• Ferguson (FERG): Largest North American distributor of plumbing, HVAC, and related products; a clear blueprint for the 'specialist technical distributor at scale' model that Hevac operates in Ireland. Comparable business model — value-added distribution of HVAC equipment to contractors — though at vastly larger scale and geographic breadth.
• Travis Perkins: UK's largest distributor of building materials including heating and plumbing categories with national branch coverage. Comparable as an established broad-line building services distributor in the UK/Ireland region with overlapping trade customer base.
• Saint-Gobain Distribution: Global building products distributor with extensive European branch networks including HVAC, plumbing, and insulation categories. Comparable as a large incumbent in adjacent distribution channels that competes for contractor wallet share across overlapping Irish/UK territories.
• Kingspan Environmental & Building Technology: Irish-headquartered global building solutions group with significant HVAC-adjacent product lines including ventilation, data center cooling, and renewable integration. Comparable as a much larger Irish building services player overlapping with Hevac's commercial HVAC and high-density residential segments.

Regional players

• Reece Group: Australia/New Zealand-focused plumbing and HVAC distributor with similar branch-network trade counter model. Comparable business model and operational playbook (stockholding branches, trade accounts, technical support) though operating in a different geography.
