How it works in Rothesay
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 Rothesay screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Local points to consider
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Rothesay are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
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.
Typical premises in Rothesay
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
