What to think about in Chiswick

Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Access and parking

Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Chiswick are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
