How a job in Hertfordshire works
Calculate
Fresh-air needs are calculated per room.
Select
A unit is chosen for air flow, efficiency and space.
Install
Unit, ductwork, terminals and controls are fitted. In Hertfordshire we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance
Supply and extract air flows are balanced and commissioned.
Local points to consider
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.
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
Working hours
Most Hertfordshire businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Premises we work in around Hertfordshire
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
