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

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.

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