How a job in Fort William 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 Fort William we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Fort William
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
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.
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 Fort William are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
