From enquiry to handover in South Shields
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 Shields we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Things to check in South Shields
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around South Shields are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Leased premises
If your South Shields 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.

Do outdoor units ice up?

Will we still need other heating?
Often not, but in some buildings a small back-up for the coldest days is sensible. We advise at survey.
