Before you book in Prestwich
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Leased premises
If your Prestwich 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.
