What to think about in Ellesmere Port
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 Ellesmere Port businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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 Ellesmere Port are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Can you just re-gas it?

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.
