From enquiry to handover in Kirkcaldy
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 Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Working hours
Most Kirkcaldy 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.
