How it works in Braintree
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route. For sites in Braintree we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Mount the units
Indoor unit on a mounting plate, outdoor unit on brackets or a frame with anti-vibration mounts.
Pipe and wire
Pipework, interconnecting cable and condensate are run and made off neatly.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
What to think about in Braintree
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Braintree 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.
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Who we work with in Braintree
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
