The steps for a project in Livingston
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Livingston we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Livingston
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Working hours
Most Livingston 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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Livingston 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 Livingston
