Before you book in Spalding
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Spalding are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Spalding often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.

Which postcodes do you cover in Spalding?

Is it illegal to use R22 air conditioning?
No — you can keep running an R22 system, but it cannot be maintained with virgin or recycled R22, so most repairs involving the refrigerant circuit are no longer possible.
Will a new system be cheaper to run?
Usually. Modern inverter systems are considerably more efficient than equipment from 15–20 years ago, though savings depend on use.
