Points to plan for in Long Eaton
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
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.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Leased premises
If your Long Eaton premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.

Guide prices in Long Eaton run from about £1,595 to £4,350 per indoor unit, plus VAT. A typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) costs £5,850–£14,195 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Ilkeston, Nottingham and West Bridgford?
Yes. Alongside Long Eaton, we also cover Ilkeston, Nottingham and West Bridgford. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Long Eaton?
All of them, including NG10. 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.
