Local considerations in Bilbao
- Hot, dry summers put heavy load on cooling systems, so HVAC and refrigeration are serviced before the hot months.
- The wetter winter months bring most roof, gutter and drain calls, so these are inspected in the fall.
- Work is scheduled around trading hours, building rules and landlord requirements at each site.
