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

Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Before you book in Chesterfield
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Leased premises
If your Chesterfield 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.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Chesterfield are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
