How it works in Plymouth
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 Plymouth we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Local points to consider
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Plymouth are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Working hours
Most Plymouth businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
