Things to check in Aberdeen
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Aberdeen are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
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.
Typical premises in Aberdeen
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Why is water leaking from my unit?
