From enquiry to handover in Alton
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. We keep work areas in Alton screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Alton
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
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.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Leased premises
If your Alton 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.
Who we work with in Alton
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

Often not, but in some buildings a small back-up for the coldest days is sensible. We advise at survey.
