Since 1963

One family. One specialism. More than sixty years of moving heat.

Kilcock Radiators has been family-operated since it was founded in 1963, and still is today. It is one of the longest-established heat exchange specialists in Ireland, and one of the few left that can repair and recondition almost any cooling component: radiators, heaters, oil coolers, intercoolers and industrial heat exchangers.

Customers come for the knowledge, and come back for the service.
