How a job in Portishead works
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.
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.
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.
