Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
Working hours
Most the Scottish Borders businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Replacement logistics
Large AHU replacements need craneage, road closures and careful programming.
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.
Who we work with in the Scottish Borders
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
