From enquiry to handover in Worthing
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 Worthing 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
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Worthing are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Worthing 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.
Premises we work in around Worthing
- 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.
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.

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.
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.
