The steps for a project in Barrhead
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Barrhead we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Barrhead
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Leased premises
If your Barrhead 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.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Working hours
Most Barrhead businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
