EC motors
Upgrading old motors to EC motors reduces electricity use and noise.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Water systems
Fan coils depend on the chilled and heating water systems; we coordinate with whoever maintains the central plant.
Working hours
Most Edinburgh businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
