Before you book in Motherwell
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Working hours
Most Motherwell businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
