Points to plan for in Consett
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Consett are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Leased premises
If your Consett 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.
