Points to plan for in Didcot
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Didcot are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
