From enquiry to handover in Oban
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. We keep work areas in Oban screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Things to check in Oban
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Leased premises
If your Oban 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.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Working hours
Most Oban businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
