Local points to consider
Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
Working hours
Most Edinburgh businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Filters
Filter grades should match the original design or current guidance for the building.
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.
Typical premises in Edinburgh
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
