Things to check in Folkestone
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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Working hours
Most Folkestone businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
