From enquiry to handover in Herne Bay
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 Herne Bay 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 Herne Bay
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 Herne Bay 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.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Herne Bay
- 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.
