Troon Leisure Club set for green heating upgrade as work due to start on six week project

Work is due to start later this month to upgrade the heating system at an Ayrshire leisure club.

The project at Troon Leisure Club gets underway on September 30 and is expected to last around six weeks. The facility will remain open throughout the upgrade.

The project will see the old gas boilers removed and replaced with three new energy efficient boilers. The new heating system will feature remote access, and a sophisticated fault alert system.

Councillor Martin Kilbride, Buildings, Housing and Environment Portfolio Holder for South Ayrshire Council, said: “We estimate that the new system will reduce gas consumption by around 20 per cent, which is fantastic for our green credentials. The work means we are also future proofing the facility and reducing maintenance costs.”

Councillor Brian Connolly, Sport and Leisure Portfolio Holder, added: “It’s important that the facility remained open for the duration of the works, so I am delighted there will be little impact on users. We continue to invest in our leisure facilities to ensure they are energy efficient and cater for the needs of customers.”
