Local points to consider
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
Leased premises
If your Barrhead premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
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.
