The steps for a project in Gosport
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 Gosport 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
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Working hours
Most Gosport businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Who we work with in Gosport
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.

- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.

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).
