Points to plan for in Elgin
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.
Leased premises
If your Elgin 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.
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.
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.
Premises we work in around Elgin
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
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 my air conditioning blowing warm air?
Common causes are blocked filters, a dirty outdoor coil, a refrigerant leak, a failed fan or a controls fault. A diagnostic visit finds the cause.
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.
