The steps for a project in Farnworth
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. We keep work areas in Farnworth screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Local points to consider
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Leased premises
If your Farnworth 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.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Working hours
Most Farnworth businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
