Before you book in Winchester
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 Winchester 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.
Working hours
Most Winchester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
