The steps for a project in Magherafelt
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.

The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. We keep work areas in Magherafelt screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
What to think about in Magherafelt
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Magherafelt 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.
