How we work in Berkhamsted
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Berkhamsted 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.
Before you book in Berkhamsted
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 Berkhamsted are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Leased premises
If your Berkhamsted 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.
Typical premises in Berkhamsted
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
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).

In most cases, yes. A heat pump delivers several kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, while panel heaters deliver one. Actual savings depend on the system, building and tariff.
