The steps for a project in Bicester
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Bicester 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 Bicester
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Bicester are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Who we work with in Bicester
- 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).
