Local points to consider
Warranty
Manufacturer warranties often require servicing at set intervals by a competent engineer. Keep the reports.
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.
F-gas
Where a system is above the 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent threshold, the service visit can include the mandatory leak check.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Chatham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
