From enquiry to handover in Gloucester
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 Gloucester we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Gloucester
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Working hours
Most Gloucester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
Premises we work in around Gloucester
- 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.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.

Yes. Alongside Gloucester, we also cover Cheltenham, Stroud and Tewkesbury. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Gloucester?
All of them, including GL1. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
