Local points to consider
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
Working hours
Most Larne businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
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.
Typical premises in Larne
