Local points to consider
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.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Gwent are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Do you also cover South Glamorgan, Mid Glamorgan and West Glamorgan?
Yes. Alongside Gwent, we also cover South Glamorgan, Mid Glamorgan and West Glamorgan. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Will a new system be cheaper to run?
Usually. Modern inverter systems are considerably more efficient than equipment from 15–20 years ago, though savings depend on use.
Should we replace R410A systems now?
Not necessarily. If an R410A system is working well and maintained, keep it. Plan replacement when it becomes unreliable or expensive to run.
