New build estates
Airtight, well insulated and often overheating by April because of the glazing. These homes usually need less capacity than their floor area suggests but more attention to where the heat is coming in.

Preston
A mix we do not see anywhere else: new build estates with excellent insulation and huge south facing glazing, and stone terraces with none at all. The two need opposite approaches to sizing.

Local knowledge
What the buildings in Preston tend to need
Housing stock and building type change what a good installation looks like far more than the badge on the unit does.
Stone and solid wall terraces
The opposite problem. Heat pours out in winter and in through the roof in summer, so both heating and cooling loads run higher than a modern equivalent of the same size.
Business parks and light industrial
Office blocks and units around the M6 corridor, where VRF systems and out of hours fitting are the norm.
Landlord portfolios
Multiple properties on one service plan, with the per unit price dropping as the number of units on the contract goes up.

Air source heat pumps
Air to air heat pumps giving around 4.5kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, heating and cooling from one unit.
Ventilation
Heat recovery, kitchen extract and make up air, and filtration where cooling alone will not fix the problem.

We cover these too
Each town has its own page, because the housing stock and the planning rules genuinely differ. The full coverage area lists everywhere else we work.
Local questions
Asked most often in Preston
Do new build houses still need air conditioning?
A lot of them do, and the reason is the glazing. Modern homes are built airtight and well insulated, which is excellent in winter and means solar gain through large south and west facing windows has nowhere to go in summer. A well insulated new build can run hotter than a draughty Victorian house in July.
How far out from Preston do you travel?
Preston is about 45 minutes from our Manchester base, which puts it comfortably inside our normal working area along with Chorley, Leyland and central Lancashire. Further north than Lancaster starts to stretch the callout response, and we would rather say so than promise a same week visit we cannot make.
