Points to plan for in Thetford
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Thetford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Thetford often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
