From enquiry to handover in Lancing
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 Lancing screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Points to plan for in Lancing
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Lancing are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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.
Who we work with in Lancing
- 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.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
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).
