The steps for a project in Ballymena
Survey
We record what is installed, its condition and refrigerant, and what can be re-used.
Plan the swap
Removal and installation are scheduled to keep downtime short.
Recover and remove
Refrigerant is recovered into certified cylinders and the old units removed. In Ballymena we agree timings around your opening hours.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Local points to consider
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Ballymena often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Working hours
Most Ballymena businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Compliance in Northern Ireland: refrigerant work falls under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
