Things to check in Eastleigh
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Working hours
Most Eastleigh businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
