From enquiry to handover in Halifax
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in Halifax 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
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Halifax 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.
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.
Premises we work in around Halifax
- 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.
