Things to check in Kettering
Budgeting
A fixed annual cost and early warning of units nearing end of life.
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.
Legal leak checks
Systems at or above 5 tonnes CO2e need checks at least every 12 months; 50 tonnes and above, every 6 months (longer intervals apply where automatic leak detection is fitted).
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Kettering are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
