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. In Ashford, Kent we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
What to think about in Ashford, Kent
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Leased premises
If your Ashford, Kent 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.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Ashford, Kent are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
