Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Letchworth Garden City
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.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Letchworth Garden City are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
