Points to plan for in Aberdare
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
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.
Old refrigerant
Systems still on R22 cannot legally be topped up with virgin or recycled R22. Repairs on these are limited — replacement is often the realistic option.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Typical premises in Aberdare
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in Wales: 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).

Can you just re-gas it?
Re-gassing without finding and fixing the leak only delays the problem. We locate and repair the leak, then charge the system and record the quantity.
Why is water leaking from my unit?
Usually a blocked condensate drain or a failed condensate pump. Switch the unit off to avoid ceiling damage and book a repair.
