How a job in Castlereagh works
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.

Points to plan for in Castlereagh
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
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.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
