The steps for a project in Caernarfon
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork.
Design the air side
Grille sizes and positions are chosen for even air flow and low noise.
Install unit and ducts
The unit is hung with access for servicing; ductwork and grilles are fitted. We keep work areas in Caernarfon screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
What to think about in Caernarfon
Void depth
Low-profile ducted units can fit voids of around 250 mm, but ductwork adds depth. We measure the route as well as the unit position.
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.
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
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.
Who we work with in Caernarfon
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
Compliance in Wales: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Is ducted AC quiet?
It can be the quietest option, because the unit is away from the room. Correct duct sizing and attenuation make the difference.
Can ducted units bring in fresh air?
Some ducted units can accept a fresh-air connection; in other cases ventilation is provided separately.
