R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
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.
Typical premises in Kilwinning
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.

Which postcodes do you cover in Kilwinning?
All of them, including KA13. 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.
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.
