Points to plan for in Skegness
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.
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 Skegness are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
