How a job in Dunoon 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 Dunoon we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
What to think about in Dunoon
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Working hours
Most Dunoon 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.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Dunoon
- 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 Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
