We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.

What to think about in Dumbarton

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