From enquiry to handover in Hythe
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route.
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. In Hythe we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Things to check in Hythe
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Hythe 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.
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
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.
Who we work with in Hythe
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
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).
