Local points to consider
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.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Leased premises
If your Swadlincote premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Typical premises in Swadlincote
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
