Things to check in Haywards Heath
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
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.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Working hours
Most Haywards Heath businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Yes. Alongside Haywards Heath, we also cover Burgess Hill, Crawley and Uckfield. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Haywards Heath?
All of them, including RH16. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
Is it illegal to use R22 air conditioning?
No — you can keep running an R22 system, but it cannot be maintained with virgin or recycled R22, so most repairs involving the refrigerant circuit are no longer possible.
