How it works in Pitsea
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 Pitsea we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Things to check in Pitsea
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
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.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Pitsea 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.
Typical premises in Pitsea
- 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.
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.
