What to think about in County Armagh
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Leased premises
If your County Armagh 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.

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).

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.
