The steps for a project in South Ockendon
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 South Ockendon we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in South Ockendon
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Working hours
Most South Ockendon businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in South Ockendon 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.
