What to think about in Whitefield
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Working hours
Most Whitefield businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
