What to think about in Clydebank
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Clydebank are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Leased premises
If your Clydebank 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.
Premises we work in around Clydebank
