Things to check in Ayrshire
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Ayrshire are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
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.
Premises we work in around Ayrshire
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
