Postcode districts we cover include CH25, CH44, L2, L13, L24, L35, L74 and WN5. Buildings across Merseyside range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

From enquiry to handover in Merseyside
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. In Merseyside we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Before you book in Merseyside
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Merseyside premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Types of premises we cover in Merseyside
- 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.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

Many heat pump air curtains connect to compatible outdoor units, which is often the most efficient heat source.
