What to think about in West Sussex
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in West Sussex often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
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.
Types of premises we cover in West Sussex
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.

Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
