How a job in Elgin 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. We keep work areas in Elgin screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Elgin
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Elgin 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.
Premises we work in around Elgin
- 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.
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).
