How we work in Saddleworth
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.

The unit is hung with access for servicing; ductwork and grilles are fitted. In Saddleworth we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Points to plan for in Saddleworth
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 Saddleworth are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
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.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
