Before you book in Rayleigh
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
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.
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 Rayleigh are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
