Things to check in Redcar
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
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.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Redcar are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
