Covering Larne and nearby
In a town like Larne, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Belfast is about 29 km away.
We work across Larne's postcode districts, including BT40. We also cover Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey and Bangor, County Down, all within easy reach of Larne. Buildings across County Antrim range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

The steps for a project in Larne
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Larne we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
What to think about in Larne
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Leased premises
If your Larne 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.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.

Which postcodes do you cover in Larne?
All of them, including BT40. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is ducted air conditioning more expensive?
Usually a little more than a cassette of the same capacity, because of the ductwork, grilles and access panel. In return you get a much cleaner ceiling.
Can one ducted unit serve several rooms?
It can, but every room then shares one thermostat. Rooms with different uses are better on separate units or zones.
