How we work in Rugby
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 Rugby 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 Rugby
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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
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.
Premises we work in around Rugby
- 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.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
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.
