The steps for a project in Falkirk
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.

The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. In Falkirk we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Things to check in Falkirk
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Falkirk 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.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Falkirk
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
