What to think about in Eastbourne
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.
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 Eastbourne 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.
Premises we work in around Eastbourne
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.

Compliance in England: 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).
