Local points to consider
Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around York are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Filters
Filter grades should match the original design or current guidance for the building.
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.
Who we work with in York
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
