What to think about in Gosforth
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your Gosforth premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
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.
Typical premises in Gosforth
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

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.
