Points to plan for in Shrewsbury
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Shrewsbury 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.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Shrewsbury
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
