How we work in Bedfordshire
Calculate
Fresh-air needs are calculated per room.
Select
A unit is chosen for air flow, efficiency and space.
Install
Unit, ductwork, terminals and controls are fitted. We keep work areas in Bedfordshire screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance
Supply and extract air flows are balanced and commissioned.
Local points to consider
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
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.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Bedfordshire 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.
