How we work in Dronfield
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 Dronfield screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Local points to consider
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Dronfield often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
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.

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.
