An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.
York and surrounding areas
York is one of the main commercial centres in North Yorkshire, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
That includes premises in YO1, YO10, YO24, YO31 and YO90 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Selby, Harrogate and Goole. For air-to-air heat pumps in York, the survey looks at where the outdoor unit can go, how pipework will reach the indoor units and whether the electrical supply has capacity.

The steps for a project in York
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in York 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 York
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
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.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Typical premises in York
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- 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.

All of them, including YO1, YO10, YO24 and YO31. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
Will we still need other heating?
Often not, but in some buildings a small back-up for the coldest days is sensible. We advise at survey.
