The heating system at The Neptune Building is a
Community Heat or District Energy System,
where heat (and electricity) is generated in a
central location and this heat is then distributed
to individual homes.

No individual gas boilers, no Carbon Monoxide, safer for
residents.
Instant hot water and heat on demand – no waiting for
water to heat up for your shower.
More environmentally friendly.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You have full control of your heating and hot water
through the Programmable Thermostat Control in your
apartment.
Manuals for your Programmable Thermostat Control
panel can be downloaded from the Frontline Energy
website. www.frontlineenergy.ie/user-manuals/
PAYMENT TYPE
The Neptune Buildingis set up with a Prepay system.
This allows you to manage your payments for heat and
hot water.

How do I operate the heating system?
The heating system is controlled via the Programmable Room Thermostat located inside your
apartment. The operating instructions for this unit can be found attached in your welcome pack supplied
to each apartment, or can be downloaded from the Frontline Energy website.
www.frontlineenergy.ie/user-manuals/ Simple instructions are contained later in this user guide
https://youtu.be/fAtrJxY_4BI
I'm going to be away for a few weeks, will I still get charged?
There is a small delivery fee for having your utility available 24/7 of 82cent per day.
Why is the heating supply more beneficial than a gas boiler?
Frontline Energy's heat is produced in a centrally-managed efficient energy centre, which means you
don't need a gas boiler in your property. Electricity is also generated to power the common areas. The
heating is piped to each home via a network of insulated thermal piping. Also, with no gas, there is no
carbon monoxide.
Where is the Heat Interface Unit (HIU)?
Frontline Energy maintains the heat interface unit (HIU) on behalf of the Landlord and as such, it must
not be interfered with. This HIU is located in the utility room in your home, it looks similar to a normal
boiler. If in doubt, please get in contact with us to co-ordinate any works that need to be carried out.
I can't get any heating / hot water - what should I do?
Please see our troubleshooting guide at the back of this pack, to help you to figure out when to contact
Frontline Energy.
Important to Note: The heating times and room temperatures are controlled by a Programmable Room
Thermostat which is the responsibility of the property owner and not Frontline Energy. Please make
sure that the battery in the unit is charged / replaced, that the programmer is switched on and the
Programmable Room Thermostat is turned up before contacting Frontline Energy regarding no heating.
Call outs where Frontline Energy engineers identify the Programmable Room Thermostat as the cause of
lack of heating will be charged to the customer. Frontline will need an authorisation from the Managing
Agent before attending your apartment.

THE TECHNICAL BIT – THIS
IS THE HEAT EXCHANGE
UNIT – OR CONSUMER
UNIT
There's a leak in my property - how
can I turn the supply off?
If there is a leak on your heating or hot
water system, you need to switch off the
supply immediately. If you identify a leak,
contact your plumber or landlord (if you
don’t have your own plumber we can book
a Frontline Plumber which will be charged
at our hourly rates). If you can identify the
leak is coming from the heat interface unit
(HIU) – Firstly, go to the HIU and switch off
all valves immediately, then you will need
to contact Frontline Energy on 01 643
2100, and then your Property Manager
There are six pipe connections to the
bottom of the HIU or Heat Interface Unit.
From the left hand side of the consumer
unit the six pipes are as follows:
1
2
3
4
1
Two district heating (flow and return) connections from the basement boiler plant room.
2
A cold water inlet fed from the basement water storage tanks
3
A hot water outlet (flow) – this heats the cold water inlet feed instantaneously via the plate
heat exchanger in the consumer unit, providing hot water on demand to showers, baths and
basins. The heat exchanger is shown on the left hand side of the consumer unit above, with
four horizontal pipe work connections to it, inside the consumer unit.

Two apartment heating (flow and return) connections to your radiators.

How do you know how much heating/hot water that I've used?
Your home is fitted with a meter that records the amount of heat consumed.
Meter readings are recorded for each individual apartment via a central processing unit located within the
central plant of the apartment complex. This information is then fed back to the panel in your apartment
where your previous day’s consumption of heat is displayed.
My neighbour is wasting a lot of heat/hot water – will I be charged for this?
No. You only pay for the heating and hot water that you consume.
How do I view my account and top-up?
To use the billing system you need to complete:
• Email
• Username
• Password
All you need is your mobile phone and you can stay on top of your account.
The Snug Zone app has the follow functionality:
• Shows how much you have right now in
credit
• How much you used yesterday.
• A top-up function.
• Contact information and FAQ
• When your credit drops below €5 in
credit you can use the IOU which is
reimbursed when you next top-up.
What happens if I’ve no credit?
If you run out of credit at night or weekends we give
you friendly credit. This happens automatically. Any
credit used will be taken back automatically when you
next top-up.
Any time your credit drops below €5 – an IOU button
will appear.
You can use this credit if you can’t top-up for any
reason.
Any IOU credit used will be taken back the next time
you top-up.
To Note: Each apartment has a delivery fee per day, which is the basic cost for administration and
service of the system regardless of consumption.

Your programmable room thermostat
GB
Your programmable room thermostat allows you to
programme different temperatures at different time periods. You
can programme one set of times and temperatures for week
days with a different set of temperatures for weekend days, this
is referred to as 5/2 day operation.
You can also programme different times and temperatures for
each day of the week individually – this is called 7 day operation.
The thermostat can also be set to provide one set of times
and temperatures that are repeated each day of the week. This is
referred to as 24 hour operation.
The thermostat can also be set by you to provide two
different programming blocks which can then be assigned to any
day of the week, this is referred to as A/B programme operation.
The TP7001 can be set by your installer to provide up 2, 4 or 6
time and temperature settings each day. The TP7001 features
useful overrides, including a programmable frost setting.
Your thermostat has some advanced features which the
installer will set-up if they are required. There are also a number of
advanced features which can be set up by you. These
advanced settings alter the way that your thermostat operates,
some also affect the programming functions and the user
overrides. Please read the User Advanced Programming
instructions before programming the unit (see page 23).
