Local points to consider
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Carshalton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
