How a job in Portishead works

  1. Heat loss survey

    We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Portishead we confirm access and parking beforehand.

  2. Design

    Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.

  3. Install

    Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted.

  4. Set controls

    Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.

Local points to consider

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 Portishead 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.

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 Portishead are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

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.
