Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Working hours
Most Stafford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Stafford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Types of premises we cover in Stafford
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
