How we work in Basingstoke
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 Basingstoke screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Basingstoke
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Leased premises
If your Basingstoke 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.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Typical premises in Basingstoke
- 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.
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.

They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
