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