From enquiry to handover in Witham
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Witham we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Witham
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Witham often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
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 Witham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Which postcodes do you cover in Witham?
All of them, including CM8. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is it cheaper than electric heaters?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump delivers several kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, while panel heaters deliver one. Actual savings depend on the system, building and tariff.
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.
