What to think about in Peterlee
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Peterlee are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
