Points to plan for in Maidenhead
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
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.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Working hours
Most Maidenhead businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

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.
