Points to plan for in Forfar
Hygiene
Drip trays and coils must be kept clean to avoid biological growth.
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.
Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
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.
