Local points to consider
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Working hours
Most Penzance businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
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.
