Points to plan for in Lichfield
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Lichfield often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
