Local points to consider
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
Working hours
Most Christchurch businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Christchurch
- 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.
