How it works in Queensferry

Fresh-air needs are calculated per room.

Local points to consider
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
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.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Queensferry
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
