Things to check in Harlow
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Leased premises
If your Harlow premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
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.
