From enquiry to handover in Runcorn
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Runcorn 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.
Points to plan for in Runcorn
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Leased premises
If your Runcorn 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.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.

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).
