Points to plan for in Crawley
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.
Working hours
Most Crawley businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Switch it off
If water is coming through a ceiling or the unit is tripping, switch it off at the isolator until it is checked.
Leased premises
If your Crawley premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Who we work with in Crawley

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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Crawley?
All of them, including OX8, RH11, RH77 and SO21. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is it worth repairing an old system?
If it uses R22, has repeated faults or needs a compressor, replacement is often better value. We give you both options.
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.
