How it works in Peterhead
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 Peterhead 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 Peterhead
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Peterhead are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Leased premises
If your Peterhead 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.
Types of premises we cover in Peterhead
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.

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.
Do outdoor units ice up?
They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
