Air conditioning replacement is removing an old system — often one using R22 or R410A refrigerant — and installing new, more efficient equipment, re-using pipework where it is safe and compatible.

Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Is it illegal to use R22 air conditioning?
No — you can keep running an R22 system, but it cannot be maintained with virgin or recycled R22, so most repairs involving the refrigerant circuit are no longer possible.
What happens to the old refrigerant?
It is recovered into certified cylinders and sent for reclamation or destruction, with the paperwork kept on your records.
