Covering Musselburgh and nearby
In a town like Musselburgh, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Edinburgh is about 9 km away.
That includes premises in EH21 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Bonnyrigg (about 8 km), Penicuik (about 16 km) and Currie (about 17 km). Buildings across the Lothians range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What the job covers
- Fresh-air rate and unit sizing

Points to plan for in Musselburgh
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 Musselburgh are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
