Points to plan for in Merthyr Tydfil
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Merthyr Tydfil are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
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.
