Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
Leased premises
If your Chatham 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.
Replacement logistics
Large AHU replacements need craneage, road closures and careful programming.
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.
