Before you book in Exmouth
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Exmouth are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
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.
