Points to plan for in the West Midlands
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Leased premises
If your the West Midlands 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.
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.
Who we work with in the West Midlands
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
