LPG installer Pauric Gallagher powering ahead with Calor

Pauric Gallagher powering ahead with Calor
After completing an apprenticeship with his uncle, Pauric Gallagher started Pauric Gallagher Gas and Oil Services 13 years ago, based in County Clare. Generations of families have turned to Pauric to service their gas boilers, and Pauric even counts customers he serviced as an apprentice 17 years ago among his current customers. Over the past two years, Pauric Gallagher Gas and Oil Services has grown from being a one man operation, to a team of eight, servicing the greater Clare, Limerick, Galway and Tipperary area.

The Growing Trend of Customers Switching to Gas

Throughout his 17 years in business, Pauric says that although his customers have changed, their desire for the highest quality products and highest level of craftsmanship have remained steadfast. However, in the past number of years, he has seen many of his customers make the switch to gas.

LPG Demand Fuels Team Expansion

Two years ago, Pauric was working alone, but today he leads a team of eight with three vans on the road, servicing customers across Clare, Limerick, Galway, and Tipperary. The remarkable growth of his business is a testament to his hard work, but Pauric acknowledges that the rising popularity of gas has played a significant role in this success. Over the past few years, he has observed a noticeable increase in demand for gas, which prompted him to expand his operations to keep up. According to Pauric, gas is reliable, efficient, and a cleaner fuel source, making it highly attractive to domestic customers—he himself has switched to gas at home. From a commercial perspective, he highlights that gas is both safe and comes with the comfort of a secure supply, further boosting its appeal.

““In my experience, the common theme in the experience of Calor customers, is that they feel that Calor are transparent, and really value their business. These are key principles of my business also, as a team we always strive to present the best customer service possible. Recommendation also plays an important role in our business, be that receiving business through recommendations or the recommendations I give to my customers on a daily basis, because of this, transparency is paramount. I always want our customers to feel like they are getting a service that they can trust.””

Growing with the Community as a Leading Gas Installer

The last two years have been extremely busy for Pauric Gallagher Gas and Oil Services, and although the company has grown, the local community is always at the heart of what they do.

“The loyalty of our customers is what has allowed us to grow our business. We are extremely fortunate to have a very supportive, experienced and driven team. I work daily with my brother in law, and my uncle who I once studied underneath as an apprentice. When I look back, it’s amazing the amount of change that the business has gone through over the past couple of years. When I started out, I only branded my van so the local community would know who was pulling up into their driveway, today we are very proud that there are Pauric Gallagher Gas and Oil Services vans travelling across four counties in Ireland.”
