Points to plan for in Dover
Downtime
Each unit is out of action for about an hour while it is cleaned.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Smells
Musty smells usually mean biological growth in the coil or tray; a deep clean and drain treatment normally cures them.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Dover are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
