Things to check in Highland
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 Highland 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.
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 Highland are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
