Things to check in Lancaster
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 Lancaster businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
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.
Typical premises in Lancaster

- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

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.
