R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Leased premises
If your Bearsden 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.
