Points to plan for in Tyne and Wear
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.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Leased premises
If your Tyne and Wear premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Who we work with in Tyne and Wear
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

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).
Questions about replacement and upgrades in Tyne and Wear
How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Tyne and Wear?
Guide prices in Tyne and Wear run from about £1,550 to £4,195 per indoor unit, plus VAT. A typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) costs £5,595–£13,650 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire?
Yes. Alongside Tyne and Wear, we also cover Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
Can existing pipework be re-used?
Often, if it is the right size, in good condition and compatible with the new refrigerant. We test and flush it before relying on it.
