What to think about in Ipswich
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.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Working hours
Most Ipswich businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
