Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Castlereagh
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Working hours
Most Castlereagh businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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 Castlereagh are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.

In Northern Ireland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
