How it works in Hemel Hempstead
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 Hemel Hempstead we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Local points to consider
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Leased premises
If your Hemel Hempstead premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Hemel Hempstead 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.
Types of premises we cover in Hemel Hempstead
- 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.
