How we work in St Helens
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 St Helens we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Local points to consider
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Working hours
Most St Helens businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Leased premises
If your St Helens 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.
Who we work with in St Helens
- 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).
