Local points to consider
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.
Water systems
Fan coils depend on the chilled and heating water systems; we coordinate with whoever maintains the central plant.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Rothesay often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
