MECHANICAL
Underfloor / Radiator heating
Our underfloor heating service continually remains in high demand due to our degree of installation quality. Underfloor heating is comprised of a series of long, flexible tubing that runs underneath the flooring of commercial or residential spaces.
Additionally, it can be laid over an existing floor, making it ideal for fuss-free renovation projects. As warm water flows throughout the tube, it emits an even distribution of warmth in its designated area of installation, providing a unison and comfortable heat.
Solar Installation Sytems
Similarly to Heat Pumps, Solar installation systems have a long lifespan, low carbon footprint, and significantly reduce electricity bills. Semi-conductors in the system actively absorb energy from the sunlight and convert it into useful electrical energy. Brackets, cabling, and other equipment will need to be installed, by the skilled employees at Cubit, to form a series of solar panels. Once this process is finished, the system is ready and little maintenance is required for upkeep on the part of the client.

Plant Rooms
Popular among large buildings and business spaces particularly, plant rooms are spaces within the building where central boiling, heating infrastructure, pumps, etc are located. Clients may choose to have plant rooms to ensure all technical components are centralised and easy to maintain and operate from a singular space. Additionally, if repair of multiple components in a system is required, plant rooms allow for easy accessibility, making them ideal for large institutions and commercial projects, such as schools or offices.
⚬ Ventilation and Air-Conditioning
In light of the covid-19 pandemic, it’s crucial residential and commercial spaces are sufficiently ventilated and appropriately air-conditioned to maintain a constant source of clean air by exchanging internal and external air via filtering. Evidence proves that the transmission of Covid-19 is reduced in well-ventilated spaces. Moreover, well-ventilated areas reduce the likelihood of mold and dampness. Consequently, the Cubit installs a substantial array of ventilation and air conditioning systems to ensure the air quality in commercial or residential areas is of the utmost standard.

⚬ Heating Systems
Cubit believes having quality heating systems in place provides a comfortable home and living environment. For this reason, Cubit offers a wide range of Heating services to cater to your heating needs in your residential or commercial space. This range spans from traditional heating systems like Boiler Plants and underfloor heating to more eco-friendlier systems proven to reduce carbon emissions, like CHP installations.

⚬ Renewables
Economical and efficient heating systems should be available to those who prefer choosing heating and energy systems based on their eco-credentials. For this reason, Cubit offers a span of renewables, such as Heat Pumps, catering to each client’s desired renewable heat source and installation budget. Whichever renewable a client decides to install, a reduction of electricity bills is always evident. For those interested to acquire more knowledge on the type of Heat Pumps Cubit offers, please view our specialist Heat Pump page.
If a client’s installation budget is higher, Cubit encourages clients to combine renewables to achieve an optimal carbon-free commercial or residential space, for instance, combining our Heat Pumps and Solar systems to contribute to an overall thermal store.

Gas Installations
The team of skilled employees at Cubit understands the importance and safety of having a thorough and well-installed gas installation, as poorly installed gas installations can result in toxic carbon monoxide poisoning. Thus, employees are gas safe registered to prevent the harmful effects of unsafe gas work. If you wish to check our gas safe registered status via the website, enter our specific registration number 626720.
Additionally, Cubit employees ensure that the placement of pipeworks and the gas installation is in an adequately ventilated area, and will not be obstructed by natural debris.
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery Installations (MVHR)
Growing in popularity, Mechanical ventilation Heat Recovery systems transcend the key ideas of mechanical engineering. Stale air is mechanically removed from a residential or commercial space to be replaced with clean air externally. Moreover, MVHR cleverly involves utilising its central heat exchanger to recycle the natural heat found in outdoor air. This helps to maintain a baseline and comfortable climate, but cannot replace a heating system.

ELECTRICAL
⚬ General Electrical
Employees at Cubit are trained and equipped to ensure all electrical needs and requirements are met with background experience and expertise. This includes ensuring:
Cabling is appropriately installed and specific to the infrastructure of the space and is correctly installed in reference to the Consumer unit.
The safety of appliances is maximized by minimizing the risk of electric shocks or hazards, via the coating of cables and live appliances.
Protective Earthing and bonding Systems are put in place to make sure the, in case of a fault, mains voltage can be sufficiently earthed to prevent harm.
As briefly mentioned, Cubit employees are trained to ensure the safety and efficiency of electrical components and systems. As a result, all Cubit employees carry out rigid and hazard-preventative Testing & Inspections of Electrical Installations in accordance with BS 7671 18th Edition IEE Regulations. Briefly, these regulations include:
Protection against electric shock, thermal effects, and voltage disturbances.
Requirements for isolation, switching, control, and monitoring
Energy efficiency to optimize the overall efficient use of electricity
Consumer Units
Commonly referred to as a “fusebox”, the majority of residential and commercial clients are partly familiar with their essential electrical role, working in cooperation with the property’s electrical components. Primarily, its operation exists to distribute electrical energy evenly throughout the residential or commercial property. Furthermore, it serves a safety purpose to prevent electrical hazards by switching off the circuit breakers in the component. Hence, its installation must be precise and accurate, a service that Cubit workers ensure is fulfilled.
