From enquiry to handover in Brixton
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.

The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. We keep work areas in Brixton screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Local points to consider
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Brixton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your Brixton premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
