From enquiry to handover in Irvine
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 Irvine we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Irvine
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Irvine are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
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.
Who we work with in Irvine
- 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.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.

Which postcodes do you cover in Irvine?
All of them, including KA12. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is it cheaper than electric heaters?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump delivers several kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, while panel heaters deliver one. Actual savings depend on the system, building and tariff.
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.
