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

The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. In Larne we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Points to plan for in Larne
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Larne are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service 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.
