Local points to consider
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 Northampton 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 Northampton 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.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
