Things to check in Torquay
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Leased premises
If your Torquay 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.
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
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.
