Before you book in Dunbartonshire
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
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.

Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
