We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Things to check in Loughton
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Leased premises
If your Loughton 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.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Loughton
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

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