The steps for a project in Wilmslow
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 Wilmslow screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Local points to consider
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Working hours
Most Wilmslow 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.
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.
Premises we work in around Wilmslow
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
