From enquiry to handover in Widnes

  1. Heat loss survey

    We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.

  2. Design

    Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.

  3. Install

    Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. In Widnes we agree timings around your opening hours.

  4. Set controls

    Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.

Local points to consider

Winter output

Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.

Leased premises

If your Widnes 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.

Building fabric

Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.

Shared buildings

In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Types of premises we cover in Widnes

  • 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.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

Can air conditioning really heat a building?

Yes. Reverse-cycle air conditioning is a heat pump. Sized for heating, it can be the main heat source for many commercial premises.

Do outdoor units ice up?

They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
