The steps for a project in Worthing
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 Worthing we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Points to plan for in Worthing
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Working hours
Most Worthing businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
