The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.

Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Points to plan for in Amersham
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Amersham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
