Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your the West Midlands 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.

Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.

Town-centre jobs in the West Midlands often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
