The steps for a project in Bury St Edmunds
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 Bury St Edmunds screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Things to check in Bury St Edmunds
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your Bury St Edmunds 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.
