What to think about in Houghton-Le-Spring
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
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.
Fire
Ducts passing through fire-rated walls or floors need fire dampers.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Houghton-Le-Spring 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.
