The steps for a project in Eastwood
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. We keep work areas in Eastwood screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Local points to consider
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Eastwood are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Working hours
Most Eastwood businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
