Before you book in Dunoon
Noise
Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
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.
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Leased premises
If your Dunoon 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.
Types of premises we cover in Dunoon

- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
