The steps for a project in Hailsham
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in Hailsham we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Local points to consider
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Hailsham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Hailsham
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
