Points to plan for in Glasgow
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Glasgow are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
Leased premises
If your Glasgow 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.
Typical premises in Glasgow
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
