What to think about in Bristol
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Bristol 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.
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
Working hours
Most Bristol businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
