Things to check in Derby
Water systems
Fan coils depend on the chilled and heating water systems; we coordinate with whoever maintains the central plant.
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.
EC motors
Upgrading old motors to EC motors reduces electricity use and noise.
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.
Who we work with in Derby
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
