What to think about in Rochester
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.
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
Working hours
Most Rochester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
