The steps for a project in Golborne
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 Golborne we agree timings around your opening hours.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
What to think about in Golborne
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
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 Golborne are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
