Things to check in Dunoon
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.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
