Heating leads in Galway, city rental and county oil.
Galway city is on the gas network. Once you are out past the suburbs you are into oil, solid fuel and heat pumps, and the two halves of the county behave nothing alike.
The city also has something most Irish counties do not: a rental and student housing sector large enough to be a business on its own, with landlords who need annual servicing, certificates and a plumber who answers.
Landlord work is the steady half
Rental property needs servicing on a schedule, needs certificates, and needs repairs handled quickly because a tenant without heat is a problem with a clock on it.
That is predictable, repeatable, year-round income, and it is almost never advertised for deliberately. Landlords and letting agents find their plumber by referral and then stay for years, which makes winning one worth far more than a single callout.
It is also seasonal in a way worth planning around: the run-up to the academic year is when agents are scrambling and most receptive.
City gas, county oil
Same split as Cork, smaller scale. A single message covering both wastes half the budget on people whose system you did not mention.
Name the fuel. It is the first thing a customer is checking for and most sites make them guess.
Distance west is not like distance east
Connemara is slow driving and the coast adds exposure and salt to everything outdoors. A callout that looks close on a map can be most of a day.
Target named towns rather than a radius, and say what you will travel to.
The city market moves on the academic calendar
Demand around lettings concentrates hard before term and again at changeover. Being visible to agents and landlords ahead of those windows is worth more than being visible year-round at the same spend.
Very few plumbers here plan around it, which is precisely why it works.

Questions from Galway plumbers
It is the steadiest income available here — scheduled servicing, certificates and fast repairs, year-round, and almost nobody advertises for it deliberately.
The city does. Out past the suburbs it is oil, solid fuel and heat pumps, and the two halves need different messages.
Ahead of the academic year and at changeover, when they are scrambling. Few plumbers plan around that calendar.
