How a job in Nottingham works

Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Local points to consider
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.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Nottingham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
