Covering Barnet and nearby
Premises in Barnet are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in EN5 and the surrounding districts. We also cover East Barnet, Potters Bar and Borehamwood, all within easy reach of Barnet. For air-to-air heat pumps in Barnet, the survey looks at where the outdoor unit can go, how pipework will reach the indoor units and whether the electrical supply has capacity.

How it works in Barnet
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. In Barnet we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Barnet
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.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Leased premises
If your Barnet 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.
Premises we work in around Barnet
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
