Local points to consider
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Rushden 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.

Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
