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.

The steps for a project in Coventry
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 Coventry we agree timings around your opening hours.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Local points to consider
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Working hours
Most Coventry businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
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.
Premises we work in around Coventry
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Which postcodes do you cover in Coventry?
All of them, including CV1. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Can existing pipework be re-used?
Often, if it is the right size, in good condition and compatible with the new refrigerant. We test and flush it before relying on it.
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.
