Local points to consider
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
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.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Castlereagh 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.
Typical premises in Castlereagh

In Northern Ireland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
