How a job in Dunbartonshire works
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. In Dunbartonshire we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Things to check in Dunbartonshire
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 Dunbartonshire 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.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Dunbartonshire
- 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.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.

Do you also cover Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, Lanarkshire and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Yes. Alongside Dunbartonshire, we also cover Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, Lanarkshire and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Do outdoor units ice up?
They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
Can air conditioning really heat a building?
Yes. Reverse-cycle air conditioning is a heat pump. Sized for heating, it can be the main heat source for many commercial premises.
