Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Working hours
Most Galashiels businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Leased premises
If your Galashiels 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.
