What to think about in Leicester
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
Leased premises
If your Leicester 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.
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Leicester are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
