Local points to consider
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 Margate are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Margate 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.
