Monitoring

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