How it works in Rushden
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. In Rushden we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Rushden
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Leased premises
If your Rushden 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.
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.
Working hours
Most Rushden businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

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 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.
