How we work in Carlisle
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 Carlisle we agree timings around your opening hours.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
What to think about in Carlisle
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
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.
