How it works in Moray
Survey
We measure the space, check the ceiling void, wall construction, glazing and occupancy, and agree where indoor and outdoor units can go. For sites in Moray we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Design and quote
You get a written specification with unit sizes, positions, pipe routes and a fixed price — plus any planning, landlord or noise points to resolve first.
First fix
Pipework, cabling and condensate runs go in, usually above ceilings or in neat trunking, before the units are hung.
Install and test
Indoor and outdoor units are fitted, the system is pressure tested with nitrogen, evacuated and charged with refrigerant.
Commission and hand over
We set up controls, check air flows and temperatures, show your team how to use it and hand over the F-gas and commissioning paperwork.
Things to check in Moray
Condensate
Every cooling unit produces water. We route it to a drain by gravity where possible and fit a quiet condensate pump where not.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Planning and noise
Outdoor units on commercial buildings often need planning permission — particularly on a front elevation, in a conservation area or on a listed building — and councils may ask for a noise assessment.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Moray are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Types of premises we cover in Moray
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
