Before you book in Horsforth
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Horsforth often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
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.

Do you also cover Yeadon, Pudsey and Guiseley?
Yes. Alongside Horsforth, we also cover Yeadon, Pudsey and Guiseley. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Horsforth?
All of them, including LS18. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
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.
