The steps for a project in Larne
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 Larne we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Larne
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Larne 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.
Working hours
Most Larne businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Who we work with in Larne
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

Two rules matter for most businesses in Northern Ireland: EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
