Things to check in Derry
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Leased premises
If your Derry 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.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Types of premises we cover in Derry
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

Compliance in Northern Ireland: refrigerant work falls under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
