Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Paignton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Why not use the office air conditioning?
Office systems switch off out of hours and are sized for people, not equipment that runs 24/7. A dedicated system is more reliable and cheaper to run.
Can we get alerts if the temperature rises?
Yes. We can fit a temperature alarm that sends alerts by email or text, or connects to your BMS or network monitoring.
