How a job in Nottingham works
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Nottingham 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.
What to think about in Nottingham
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Nottingham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Leased premises
If your Nottingham premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Typical premises in Nottingham
- 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.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Do outdoor units ice up?

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.
