How it works in Shoreham-by-Sea
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. We keep work areas in Shoreham-by-Sea screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Things to check in Shoreham-by-Sea
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Shoreham-by-Sea are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Working hours
Most Shoreham-by-Sea businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
