Points to plan for in Forfar
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 Forfar 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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Forfar are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
