Local points to consider
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
Leased premises
If your East Sussex 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.
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak is a false economy and, for systems above the threshold, a breach of F-gas leak repair duties.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in East Sussex often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Typical premises in East Sussex

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
