The steps for a project in County Down
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in County Down we confirm access and parking beforehand.

The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Before you book in County Down
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in County Down often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your County Down 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.
Typical premises in County Down
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Compliance in Northern Ireland: refrigerant work falls under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
