What to think about in Stornoway
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.
Access
High-level units or roof plant may need towers or roof access arrangements, which we plan in advance.
Leased premises
If your Stornoway 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.

Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
