The steps for a project in Purley
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 Purley we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Things to check in Purley
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 Purley are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Purley
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Does it work in freezing weather?

Often not, but in some buildings a small back-up for the coldest days is sensible. We advise at survey.
