Local points to consider
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.
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 South Benfleet are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
